{"product_id":"red-deep-cast-resin-bowl-42cm","title":"Red Deep Cast Resin Bowl - 42cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deep bowl cast hollow in a strong translucent red. The wall runs at an even thickness from the rim to the base, the rim is cut flat rather than rolled, and the outside is polished. The inside carries the same polish as the outside. It rests on its own foot, arrives without a stand, and holds what a bowl this deep will hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Even Wall Is What Keeps the Colour Even\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed is the least forgiving colour to cast in a translucent material, because the eye reads its strength as a measure of how much material the light crossed. A wall that thickens by a few millimetres toward the base comes out visibly darker there, and on a bowl that reads as a shadow inside a vessel with nothing above it to cast one. Every correction anyone reaches for makes it worse: lightening the pigment washes out the rim, deepening it turns the base to brown. The only answer is the wall, held even the whole way round and the whole way down, and that is what the hollow casting is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a bowl and it can be used as one, which makes an island, a dining table or a broad console the right places for it rather than a shelf. At 42cm it wants a table or a console to itself. A pale ground under it lets the colour throw down onto the surface, which is worth having; a dark ground stops it dead. Anything put inside it will be seen through the wall as well as over the rim, so what goes in it matters more than it would in an opaque bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Wall, the Colour, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The red is taken toward orange or deepened toward black, the wall is cast heavier for weight, and the rim is rolled instead of cut flat. A frosted exterior is offered and makes the bowl opaque, which suits a room where it will be used rather than displayed. It is also made at other diameters and in a shallower section. It is sent in one crate seated in a shaped bed with the rim ringed and protected, and two people lift it by the base rather than the rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bowl deep enough to fill belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; red held evenly in a hollow wall leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a vivid vessel for a broad island 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\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Red Resin, Hollow Cast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069248164187,"sku":"X174","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X174.jpg?v=1790956293","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-deep-cast-resin-bowl-42cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
