{"product_id":"clear-fluted-petal-resin-footed-bowl-53cm","title":"Clear Fluted Petal Resin Footed Bowl - 53cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless cast bowl stands on a tall foot. The dish is a shallow open form with a scalloped rim, its wall divided into some two dozen rounded petals that swell outward and roll over at the lip, and at its centre a frosted ring marks the top of the foot. The foot is a narrow column, about half the width of the dish, cut all over in long oval facets set in vertical rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Petalled Dish on a Column of Oval Facets\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole form is built out of a single idea repeated at two scales. The dish above uses short, deep, closely spaced petals, each one a half cylinder standing proud of its neighbours, and where they meet the rim they roll over into a scallop. The foot below is worked in long oval facets, stacked in vertical rows from the underside of the dish to a square-cut base. Because the material is colourless, the facets of the foot show through the wall of the dish, doubled and displaced, and the whole object holds far more visible line than its outline suggests. Look down from above and the frosted ring at the centre of the petals frames the column below like the heart of a flower. There is no colour anywhere in it. Everything the eye reads is form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 53cm high this is a centre piece rather than a shelf object. It stands on a console in a hall, on a plinth in a bay window, or on a low cabinet where it can be looked into from above, and it earns a position with something behind it worth distorting, because the walls will take whatever is beyond them and break it up. The dish is shallow and open, made more for display than for holding things, and it is not for water. Set a light low and to one side and the petals throw a fan of bright lines across whatever it stands on. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePetal Count, Depth of Dish, and the Height of the Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The petal and facet work is what takes the time, since every one is finished by hand. Three things are open at order. The petal count in the dish, which changes the character completely: a full ring as here reads as a chrysanthemum, a dozen broad petals as a lotus. The depth of the dish, from this shallow open form through to a deeper bowl that hides its own foot. And the height of the foot, which sets whether the piece reads as a bowl on a stand or as a column with a dish on top. Any diameter and any overall height can be quoted. Delivery is a single crate with nothing to assemble inside it, and two people should place the piece, one of them steadying the dish.
