{"product_id":"white-frosted-hemisphere-footed-resin-bowl-45cm","title":"White Frosted Hemisphere Footed Resin Bowl - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this footed bowl a clean hemisphere sits on a plain cylinder that flares out to the floor, all in an even frosted white. The frosting is even over the whole surface, inside the bowl included, so the form is read entirely by its own shadow and takes no reflection off the room around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Unbroken Hemisphere on a Flaring Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bowl and the foot are cast as one body, which is the whole difficulty: a hemisphere has to be true through every section at once, and a joint at the waist would read as a grey ring in a frosted white. The wall is held even from the rim down into the foot, because a thin patch shows as a bright band against the frosting. The frosting itself is worked over the whole surface, the inside of the bowl included, and stopped short of a gloss so the form is read by shadow rather than reflection. The foot is faced flat and true, and the piece stands without rocking on a hard floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm to the rim this stands on a floor beside a chair or on a wide console, and it holds nothing: the hemisphere is the point of it. The frosting reads by shadow, so it wants light from one side rather than a flat wash, and it shows against a dark ground far better than against a pale one. The flaring foot takes a small footprint for its height, so a level surface suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Hemisphere, the Foot, and How It Travels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Most of it is the hemisphere wall. You settle three things. The frosting can be taken to a gloss, and the foot can be made as a straight cylinder without the flare. Bowl diameter and foot height are each specified. The line of the hemisphere is common to a single order and particular to it. The bowl lip and the spreading foot are wrapped first and the piece is crated upright, so nothing bears on the rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted hemisphere on a flaring foot belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; standing alone it suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, its white casting 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted 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":53998135705947,"sku":"J740","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J740.jpg?v=1791400928","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/white-frosted-hemisphere-footed-resin-bowl-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
