Everything is colourless and polished, so the piece has no colour of its own and takes whatever is around it. The body is a single smooth mass with no fur worked into it, and the ears are two thin blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Raised Ears on a Colourless Animal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ears are the whole piece as far as the making is concerned. They are thin, they are long, and they are the two elements a clear casting is least likely to come out of the mould with, so each is checked against the light before anything else is done and a casting with any cloud in an ear goes no further. Finishing them is slow because both faces of each ear are visible at once and they must match in polish, or one ear reads brighter than the other and the animal looks lopsided. The body is the opposite problem: a large clear volume with no detail on it shows every flat spot as a break in the reflection, so it is taken down with abrasives that bend to the form instead of cutting across it, through five grades before the polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 63cm it is a floor piece beside a chair or a table piece in a large room, and it works in either as long as nothing stands directly behind the ears, which need clear space to be read as separate. It is one of the few pieces improved by a busy background: a colourless animal in front of books or a patterned wall picks up the pattern and becomes part of it. On a plain surface in a plain room it can vanish, so give it something to reflect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize Options, Colour and Handling on Site\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. Any scale from a table piece to this floor size can be cut to order. A tint runs through the body in amber, smoke, green or a pale rose, and a frosted finish is offered where the polish is too bright. The ears can be set closer together or laid back along the body for a resting pose. It travels standing in a fitted crate with the ears cased individually, and two people should place it, taking the weight under the haunches and never by an ear. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rabbit seated upright, paws held together, belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rabbit-statues\"\u003erabbit and hare statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a pair of tall ears over a smooth body lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and colourless polished resin joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e63cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear 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":54017627685211,"sku":"R104","price":3847.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R104.jpg?v=1791308320","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-seated-rabbit-cast-resin-sculpture-63cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
