From a narrow foot the walls open out, and the rim is torn along its whole length, rising to a tall point at each end and dipping between them in a broken line of shallow peaks and notches. The material is colourless and the surface is worked to a high gloss rather than frosted. A pale stone bar is included and runs past the vessel at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Surface That Returns the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless casting worked to this finish has no appearance of its own, which is the point and also the difficulty. What it shows is whatever stands around it, so the form has to be legible entirely through the way its surface turns: where the wall bends sharply the reflection breaks, and where it opens out the reflection stretches. That is why the rim is torn rather than cut. A clean edge would give one continuous line of reflection right round the top and the vessel would read as a ring; a broken edge interrupts it at every notch and the wall beneath is read as a surface instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wants a long console or a sideboard, and what stands opposite matters more than what is behind, since that is what the piece will show. A plain room suits it and a busy one fills it up. The bar is long and wants support across its whole width rather than at the ends. A bright polish on a colourless body returns the room rather than a colour, so the piece takes on whatever is around it and looks different in every setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBar Lengths, the Finish and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. The gloss is taken back to a frost, a tint is put into the casting, and the bar is cut at other lengths. Bar length is settled separately from the vessel, and either is run at other sizes. Frosted, the vessel stops giving back the whole room and becomes a much quieter object. It travels in two crates, one for the vessel and one for the stone, which are opened where the piece is to stand, and two people should carry the bar. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTearing a rim rather than cutting it is what \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e is for; a colourless body worked to this finish is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a gloss this bright belongs in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 x 35 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Cast Clear Resin on Pale Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54091179589979,"sku":"H222","price":3104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H222.jpg?v=1791980211","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-high-gloss-torn-rim-vessel-resin-sculpture-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
