{"product_id":"blue-wide-conical-cast-resin-bowl-80cm","title":"Blue Wide Conical Cast Resin Bowl - 80cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conical bowl opening from a narrow foot to a thin rim in a single unbroken line. It is cast in a strong translucent blue that lightens as the wall thins toward the top. Nothing is supplied to raise it: the narrow foot is the whole of what it stands on, and the wall is cast unusually thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Wide Rim on a Narrow Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rim this wide on a foot you can put two hands around is the whole of the difficulty. The material has to travel that far from where it enters, and it is thickening the entire way, so the last part of the rim to fill is doing so with material that is already stiffening. Fill too slowly and the rim comes out short or ragged; too fast and the wall carries air. What makes it possible is the cone itself: every part of that journey runs uphill at one constant angle and nothing has to turn a corner. A bowl of this span with a curved profile is a far harder object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 80cm it stands on the floor or a plinth rather than a table, and it needs room in every direction with nothing beside it. On a low table it takes the whole surface; in a hall or a wide corner it does what it is for. The blue deepens toward the foot and lightens at the rim, so a light source above it runs the gradient the right way round. Weight is not the difficulty a stone vessel of this span would be, and two people move it without lifting gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Span, the Foot, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The blue is lightened or taken to green, the rim is drawn heavier, and the cone is cut at a shallower angle for a broader, lower bowl. A frosted exterior is offered and makes the piece opaque, which is the sensible choice where it will be used rather than looked through. It is also cast at other diameters, including a pair. It ships in one crate standing on its foot in a cut bed with the rim ringed the whole way round, and two people lift it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bowl this wide belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; blue graded from foot to rim leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a vessel for a wide corner of a hall 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\u003e53cm\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\u003e80cm\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":54069248819547,"sku":"X256","price":6684.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X256.jpg?v=1790958470","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-wide-conical-cast-resin-bowl-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
