{"product_id":"cobalt-and-clear-bubbled-cleft-vessel-resin-sculpture-47cm","title":"Cobalt \u0026 Clear Bubbled Cleft Vessel Resin Sculpture - 47cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vessel of cobalt and clear resin that rises from a narrow foot and is cleft at the top by a deep, rounded opening into two points that lean apart. One is a smooth, blade-sharp point; the other rises higher, its tip cut into crisp, angular facets. Cobalt runs deepest down the inner faces of the cleft and through the waist of the wall, the outer wall pales, and the foot clears to a soft sky blue, with fine bubbles held through the middle of the casting. There is no base in the price; the vessel carries itself on its own underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBubbles Where the Colour Is Deepest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBubbles held in a casting are the one element that cannot be placed after the fact, so their distribution is decided with the colour rather than against it. Here they are densest through the waist, where the cobalt is deepest, which is counter to the obvious choice: they are least visible there. What that buys is a wall which changes character as it rises: dense and worked through the waist, clean and open in the two points, where the bubbles all but give out and the cobalt keeps to the inner faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRising 47cm, it sits comfortably on a sideboard or a deep shelf, with the light coming from behind so the bubbles are lit through the wall. Standing it with the cleft turned into the room is what makes the two points read as separate. A pale surface beneath lifts the sky-blue foot. With the cobalt banked through the waist and down the inner faces of the cleft, the piece has a dark heart inside a paler shell, which makes it look narrower than the casting is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiameters, the Cobalt and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The bubbles are drawn denser or left out, the cobalt is banked along one wall instead of the middle, and the cleft is opened wider. Diameter is open here, and the bubbles are distributed to the size instead of kept at one density. Where the bubbles are not wanted the wall is cast clear right through, and the cleft then carries the piece on its own. The crate takes it under the foot alone and leaves both points free, and it is lifted out from below, never by either point. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleft vessels sit in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, the bubbles are held inside \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and cobalt this deep needs \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e placing.\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\u003e47cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Cobalt Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54091117003099,"sku":"H160","price":4589.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H160.jpg?v=1791934086","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cobalt-and-clear-bubbled-cleft-vessel-resin-sculpture-47cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
