The blue is carried right through the material rather than graded, which is what this diameter asks for. It stands on a small black disc, which comes with it and lifts it just clear of the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmall Is Where This Design Nearly Fails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall is where this design nearly fails. There is very little material between one scoop and the next at this diameter, so an ordinary tint comes out as a flat colour and the turn stops reading as a turn at all. The blue here is run deep for that reason, which is why the piece holds its shape across a room instead of looking like a scale model of something else. Even the thin wall between the hollows holds enough blue to read, so the turn is legible from a doorway as well as in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 23cm this is a desk or shelf piece and it is meant to be handled: it can be picked up, turned, and put down somewhere else. It suits a working surface, a bookshelf at eye level, or a sill with daylight behind it. Because it is read close, the finish of the inner scoops matters more here than it does on the floor-standing castings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Blue, the Disc, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The ball is cast at other diameters, the blue is deepened, and the disc beneath is offered in stone. A different diameter is the change most often asked for on this one, and the disc beneath it is made in stone where a heavier foot is wanted. A graded tint is offered in place of the even one and gives a different object, though at this size the grading has very little material to happen in and comes out as a band rather than a sweep. It travels in one box, the disc packed apart from the casting, and one person can carry it in one hand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA turning cut at desk scale belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue carried through the ball leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a piece to be picked up joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 12 x 1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on a Black Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070795469147,"sku":"X171","price":1552.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X171.jpg?v=1790956288","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-cut-sphere-on-a-black-disc-resin-sculpture-23cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
