{"product_id":"blue-and-gilt-bud-resin-sculpture-70cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Gilt Bud Resin Sculpture - 70cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed bud on a square block, the body swelling from the foot and drawing in again to a narrow neck that is finished in gold. Frosted blue through the body with the drawn neck finished in gold, the only worked colour on the piece. A small square black block is supplied beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGold at the Narrowest Point\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gilt is the one thing on the bud that light stops at instead of passing through, and it sits where the body is thinnest so that the eye finishes there. Everywhere else the blue is read into rather than off. Frosting a blue body and gilding the neck puts the one opaque thing on the piece at its narrowest point, so the eye is carried up the form rather than held at its widest part. Frosted over the body and polished on the gilt, which is the only contrast of surface anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wants a console or a mantel, where a piece with the footprint of a teacup will not be lost. A pale ground behind it, so the gilt neck reads as gilt and not as a highlight. Light from one side finds the gilt at once and the frosted body slowly; flat light reverses that. The gold at the top is what carries; the blue beneath it is a near fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeaving the Gilt Off, and a Minute to Unpack\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. Ask us to leave the gilt off, to exchange the blue, or to make the bud at another height. Leave the gilt off and the neck stops being the destination, so the body is drawn fuller to carry the eye on its own. It arrives boxed with the block already beneath it, and setting it down is the whole of the job. One person, both hands, and the gilded neck is the one place not to hold it by. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted blue bud with a gilded neck stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its drawn, simple outline suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the frosted body joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 x 15 x 15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Blue Cast Resin with Gilt Detail on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54145035895131,"sku":"Z440","price":2430.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z440.jpg?v=1790774109","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-gilt-bud-resin-sculpture-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
