{"product_id":"clear-ribbed-acrylic-serving-tray-with-brass-fitting-70cm","title":"Clear Ribbed Acrylic Serving Tray with Brass Fitting - 70cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a long clear tray with a raised rim running right round it. The floor is not flat: most of its length is ribbed into close parallel channels, and one end is left plain and slightly sunk, where a small brass fitting stands proud of the surface. The tray is a single piece and sits low, its rim standing only a little above the surface beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Ribbed Floor and One Plain End\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbing a tray floor and keeping it a tray is a matter of depth. Cut too shallow and the ribs read as a printed pattern; cut too deep and nothing will stand on them. Here they are taken to a depth that holds a glass upright between two ribs without rocking, which is a functional decision before it is a visual one. The plain end is sunk a little below the ribbed floor so anything liquid runs that way rather than sitting under a glass, and the brass fitting is set into the acrylic rather than glued on top, which means the recess for it is cut before the floor is polished. Every rib is polished, so the floor reads as glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tray this long belongs on something long: a console, a kitchen island, the end of a dining table. The ribs run its length, so set it with the ribs pointing the way you walk past and they read as a bright grating; turned across, they read as a texture. Clear acrylic takes its appearance from what it lies on, so a timber or a stone surface gives it something to show. Keep it indoors and off a hotplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRib Pitch, the Brass Fitting and Ordering Several\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. Rib pitch can be opened out or closed in, and the ribbed area can be run the full length with no plain end. The brass fitting is offered in a darker bronze or a bright chrome, and it can be left out. Plan size is cut to order, and a deeper rim is available where more is to be carried. A tint can be introduced. The tray arrives complete with nothing to assemble and is an easy one-person carry. It travels boxed flat with the rim protected on all four sides, an acrylic rim being the part that chips in transit. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibs that hold a glass upright belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a small brass fitting at the plain end leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long tray to run down a console 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\u003e3.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRibbed Clear Acrylic with a Brass Fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016239731035,"sku":"Y165","price":1754.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y165.jpg?v=1790888962","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-ribbed-acrylic-serving-tray-with-brass-fitting-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
