Ribbed petals radiate from a densely textured centre and widen to a lobed rim that rises and falls around the circumference. The whole form is carried on a short, craggy foot no wider than the centre boss, and the foot stands on a small square block of clear resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePetals Radiating From a Cast Centre\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rib runs the full distance from the centre boss out to the rim without a break, and the ribs are not equal: they vary in width and in depth around the circuit, so the petals read as a flower rather than as a machined rosette. The centre is worked to a dense, crinkled texture that holds the eye where the ribs converge, and the foot below is worked the same way, craggy as broken ice. The resin is a high-clarity casting grade, and the whole bowl is polished inside and out, so the ribs stay legible from directly above and from a seated position underneath. Where the petals overlap at the rim the clear body picks up a faint grey, and that is the only shading anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bowl of this diameter is a floor or console piece rather than a table one. It takes the middle of a wide console, a low plinth in a hall, or the floor beside a stair where it can be looked down into, and it sits well below eye level from a standing position. Left empty it works as a cast form; filled with a single layer of fruit or cut stems it becomes a working dish, and the foot and its block lift the underside clear so the ribs stay legible from a seated position. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCarrying the Bowl by Its Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. A span of clear resin this wide is stiff rather than strong, and how it is moved matters. It ships in a fitted crate, bowl uppermost, and it is lifted by two people with both hands under the foot and the bowl kept level throughout, never carried tilted and never taken by the rim, which is the thinnest edge on the piece and the first thing to catch a doorframe. Set it down on a level surface: on an uneven console a bowl this wide will rock on two corners of its block instead of bearing on the whole of it. It is supplied as the bowl, its foot and the square block beneath, so any plinth or console to raise it is yours to provide, with a flat top at least as wide as the block. Alternative tints are available from the studio range, and the rim can be specified with a shallower lobe or cut level for a plainer edge. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaid out like an open flowerhead, this piece is filed with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; as a working dish it also counts among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and its clear casting among 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\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH35cm, W100cm, D100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear 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":53956813652315,"sku":"J031","price":7628.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J031.jpg?v=1791377704","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-petalled-resin-flower-bowl-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
