The cup is opened like a single flower with its rim drawn into a soft wave, and no two points around that rim stand at the same height. The column beneath it is plain black marble, square in section, and it makes up most of the height, so most of what stands in the room is stone rather than casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Small Form at Standing Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting a pale cup on a black column is a decision about what disappears. The stone is dark, plain and square in section, and at this height it takes up more of the eye than the casting does - so it is finished to be unreadable. There is no figure in it, no chamfer and no moulding at the top, and the whole is polished to one even tone, which in most light reads as a dark absence rather than as an object. What stands in the room is then a cream cup at chest height with nothing obvious holding it. A figured stone would destroy that immediately: veining draws the eye down the column and the piece becomes a marble pedestal with something on it, which is a different and much older kind of object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is floor work and wants a clear approach on at least one side. The column needs a level floor rather than a rug, with room around its square foot. At 125cm the cup sits at about chest height and is looked into rather than up at, and the wave in the rim is in view. A plain wall behind serves the arrangement better than a patterned one, for the same reason the stone carries no figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Column, the Cream, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The column is cut at other heights, the cream is warmed toward honey or cooled toward white, the peach streaks are deepened or left out, and the rim is drawn more deeply waved. The cup is also cast at other diameters against the same column. A figured stone is made where the plain black is not wanted, though it changes the piece rather than dressing it. Column and casting travel in separate crates; the stone wants two people, and the cup is lifted by its foot, never by the rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cup opened like a flower is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the cream body is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a column this tall is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e floor work.\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\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Cream Resin on a Black Marble Column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54075794751835,"sku":"H281","price":2568.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H281.jpg?v=1791979338","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cream-petal-cup-on-a-marble-column-resin-sculpture-125cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
