{"product_id":"blue-cut-sphere-on-black-marble-resin-sculpture-46cm","title":"Blue Cut Sphere on Black Marble Resin Sculpture - 46cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt tabletop size, this ball of blue resin is cut into two scoops that curl round each other and part along one thin dividing wall. The blue is richest at the outer surface and clears toward a soft ice blue in each hollow, where the resin runs thinnest. Its slim blue stem is set into a squared black marble block, which is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Clear Blue Ball Wrapped Round Itself\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt tabletop scale the dividing wall decides the design, since it carries the whole form and shows from every angle. The blue is mixed to stay clear even where that wall is thickest, so it reads as a pane of colour rather than a solid mass. Each scoop is polished on both faces, so light falling into one hollow passes through the wall and brightens the other, and the outside is brought to the same gloss so that the ball shows no seam or tool mark anywhere on its surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding 46cm overall, it is right for a deep windowsill, a writing desk or a side table, where it is seen from close by. Blue keeps its clarity best in daylight, and a north-facing room shows it at its coolest. Set it against white or grey and the outline of the ball is crisp; against timber the blue looks richer and darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Blue, the Block and a Single Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. Cobalt or aqua versions are offered, as are deeper hollows for a more open ball, and the stone beneath can be swapped for a paler one or cut to a different proportion to suit the table or shelf it will stand on, with the stem lengthened to match. One case holds the ball and, wrapped apart, its block, and a single person can carry the ball comfortably in both hands. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ball wrapped round itself in two scoops belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; clear mid blue resin leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a piece sized for a desk 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236194931035,"sku":"X014-2","price":2026.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X014__2.jpg?v=1790951744","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-cut-sphere-on-black-marble-resin-sculpture-46cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
