Colourless throughout, so the only tone in it is the grey the cut faces gather at their edges. Nothing is supplied beneath it: the vessel is cast with a stepped foot and stands on that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Tonal Range With No Pigment in It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting flutes into a vessel is the oldest way of giving a colourless material a tonal range, and it still works because the edges do it and not the faces. Every edge on this piece collects a line of grey and every face returns a highlight. Between the two there is a full range of tone in a body that carries no colour at all, which is what cutting was for long before pigment became easy. Cutting flutes into a colourless body means the material collects a grey line at every edge, and the vessel gets its whole tonal range without a pigment anywhere in it. Polished on every flute and on every step of the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dining table, a sideboard or a hall console will all take it, and it reads as a vessel before it reads as anything else. A plain wall behind it, dark, so the cut edges carry as bright lines. Light from one side picks out every flute; from directly above it fills the whole body. It reads as a vessel from any distance, and the cutting is what separates it from one at close range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Flutes, and Nothing to Assemble\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The flute count can be opened, the neck can be drawn wider, and the body can be cast with a tint in it. Open the flute count and the body is reproportioned to it, because the flutes have to close at the neck or the cutting looks abandoned. A single crate, packed the way up it stands, and nothing to be done to it once the packing is off. One person and both hands, with the grip on the body. The neck is the last place to take hold of it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear fluted vessel on a stepped foot is part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its cut facets suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the colourless body takes its place among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Cut and Polished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54112582009179,"sku":"Z400","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z400.jpg?v=1790773191","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-cut-fluted-resin-vase-sculpture-68cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
