{"product_id":"blue-crown-in-a-wide-saucer-resin-sculpture-80cm","title":"Blue Crown in a Wide Saucer Resin Sculpture - 80cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue crown rises from a wide saucer of the same water, the two running into one another with no rim between them. The crown's walls break into fingers tipped with milky white, and two arms reach far out from it, one almost level and one climbing, both well past the rounded edge of the saucer, which catches a single line of light. The blue is deepest in the dish and lightens as the crown rises, so the eye is carried upward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNo Rim Between the Dish and the Crown\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA splash standing in a dish invites one particular mistake, which is for the dish to become a stand. The moment there is a rim, a step or a change of finish where the two meet, the piece stops being water and becomes an ornament sitting in a bowl. So the saucer here runs straight up into the crown with nothing between them, and the change is spread across a hand's width rather than made at a line. Getting that right is a matter of a few millimetres: too quick and there is a visible shoulder, too slow and the crown looks as though it is sinking into the dish rather than leaving it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost half of what it occupies is the dish underneath, so it needs a surface that shows the whole of its footprint. Overhang the saucer at a table edge and the piece looks unstable even though it is not, and set it on something narrower and the dish is lost altogether. A round table, a wide console or an island all carry it. Its arms reach out past the saucer on both sides, so the measurement that matters is the surface and not the headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRunning the Colour Deeper, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The saucer runs straight up into the crown with no rim between them, and the water has to look as though it left the dish rather than being set into it. The blue is run darker in the dish than in the crown, the saucer is drawn wider, and a colourless version of the whole piece is made. The crown is drawn against the width of the saucer, so the proportion holds at any size. It travels in one crate built to the rim of the saucer with the crown faced and packed, and it is lifted by the dish and set down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crown standing in its own dish is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue runs through \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a footprint this broad asks for the measured surfaces of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054190416219,"sku":"L254","price":4393.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L254.jpg?v=1791903945","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-crown-in-a-wide-saucer-resin-sculpture-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
