{"product_id":"cobalt-blue-arch-footed-cast-resin-bowl-50cm","title":"Cobalt Blue Arch Footed Cast Resin Bowl - 50cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA glossy cast resin bowl raised on arch feet. Its upper part is a deep hemisphere with a plain cut rim. Below it the wall draws in to a short waist and then swells again into a solid body, which rests on half cylinders set flat side down, so each curve rises as an arch, and the two at the front reach out as far as the rim. The whole piece is a single deep cobalt, transparent rather than frosted, so the wall behind it shows through the mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCasting a Hemisphere Deep Enough to Hold Its Own Colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is a play between a broad bowl and a pinched waist. Above the waist the hemisphere is wide and deep and reads as the whole object; below it the stem draws in sharply, then the body swells out again and settles onto its arch feet, which spread as wide as the rim and give the bowl a planted, steady stance. The cobalt is transparent rather than frosted, and it is not even: the curve of the bowl reads darkest where the eye looks through the most material, at the outer walls, and lightest at the middle of the base where it looks through the least. The rim is cut plain and square, with no lip and no thickening, which keeps the whole profile a single unbroken curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 50cm high the bowl sits at the scale of a hall console or a wide sideboard rather than a low table, and it wants to be seen from slightly below so the arch feet and the waist are legible. It is transparent throughout, so what stands behind it becomes part of it, and a plain surface serves it far better than a busy one. Set against a window the cobalt lights right through. It holds what is put into it, though anything opaque will hide the inside of the curve. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Bowl Depth, the Stem, and the Number of Feet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. Two things decide the piece. The depth of the bowl, from this deep hemisphere through to a shallow open dish that changes it from a vessel into a tray on feet. And the feet themselves, which can be these four half cylinders, three for a lighter stance, or a solid ring that closes the base entirely. The colour route is also open: this single deep cobalt, a graded tone that darkens towards the foot, or a clear body with the colour held only in the rim. Diameter and height are each specified. It is solid and therefore heavier than its size suggests, and it ships in one crate with the rim capped; one person can lift it but two should place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deep cobalt vessel on arch feet sits well among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its swelling, rounded profile relates it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the glossy blue casting to 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinted 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":53969678106971,"sku":"J210","price":3102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J210.jpg?v=1791388736","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cobalt-blue-arch-footed-cast-resin-bowl-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
