{"product_id":"clear-ribbed-underside-cast-resin-plate-20cm","title":"Clear Ribbed Underside Cast Resin Plate - 20cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless plate of cast resin, with fine ribs radiating across the underside from a small boss at the centre. The upper face is left entirely plain and the rim is drawn thin. The ribs are seen through the material rather than on it. Nothing is supplied under it, because the ribbed underside is the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Pattern Is on the Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting the pattern on the back of a clear plate is the whole design and it has two reasons. The first is use: a ribbed upper face collects everything and cannot be wiped, while a plain one can. The second is better. Ribs on the underside are seen through the thickness of the material, so they are slightly magnified, slightly displaced, and they move as the head moves, which a pattern on the near face does not do at all. The plate changes as you lean over it and goes still again when you stop. The centre boss is there to give the radiating lines somewhere to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is small and shallow and it is for a desk, a side table or a shelf at hand height, where it will be looked down into. It will hold what a plate this shallow holds, and anything in it covers the ribs, so it is at its best with very little or nothing on it. A pale surface beneath shows the ribs at their clearest; a dark one turns them into faint grey lines. It takes 20cm and sits flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ribs, the Face, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The rib count is cut coarser or finer, the boss is drawn broader or left out, and the body is tinted. A version with the ribs on the upper face is made and is a more obvious object that loses the movement described above. It is also cast at other diameters, where the ribbing carries further. It is sent in one flat box between shaped boards with the rim protected right around, and one hand lifts it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plate ribbed on its underside belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; a clear body with its ribs seen through it leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a dish whose pattern moves as you lean over it 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\u003e7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.3cm\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069536588123,"sku":"X139","price":1417.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X139.jpg?v=1790954928","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-ribbed-underside-cast-resin-plate-20cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
