{"product_id":"blue-ice-texture-graded-cast-resin-bowl-90cm","title":"Blue Ice Texture Graded Cast Resin Bowl - 90cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis large round bowl is cast in translucent blue resin, the whole of its outside worked into a rough ice texture and its inside left smooth and glossy. The blue is graded from almost clear at the rim to a strong cobalt at the foot, so the wall appears to deepen as it descends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIce Worked Across the Whole Outside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ice texture is modelled into the outer mould face over the whole bowl, so it runs unbroken round the form and down to the foot rather than stopping at a line. The inside is worked to a true curve and polished to a gloss, which is the contrast the piece is built on: a rough outside and a smooth inside on one wall. The blue is poured graded and the meetings are worked while the material is still live, so the colour deepens over a span and not at an edge. The rim is eased by hand all the way round until nothing on it will snag, and the foot is faced flat and true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 90cm it is broad enough for the floor itself or a wide low table, and since the blue deepens towards the foot, it rewards being looked down into as well as seen from the side. The rough outside catches light from any direction while the smooth inside holds one reflection, so a position with light from one side does more for it than an even wash. It is stable on its own foot and needs no fixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Texture, the Grade of Blue, and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Most of it is the ice texture. Three elements are left to you. The grade of blue is set at order, the ice texture is worked coarser or finer, and the inside can be left rough to match the outside. The bowl diameter and the bowl height are named by you. The grade of the blue is common to a single order and particular to it. The bowl rim and the textured foot are wrapped first and the piece travels upright in a cradle cut to its own curve, which four people lift. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRough ice outside and smooth blue within place this bowl with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the ice texture suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, its graded blue our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Blue Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993526165851,"sku":"J692","price":9990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J692.jpg?v=1791398767","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-ice-texture-graded-cast-resin-bowl-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
