very excellent
I have a basic question. How come the piece is hollow? When the wax is dipped in the slurry and the ceramic shell is formed, this is on the outside of the piece. If the wax is melted out, it seems to me that the ceramic casing is completely hollow so if you cast bronze in to it, it would be solid. Is there a core in there?
The mold would have to be redone to cast a different material into it. A bronze of any size is cast hollow and will have some ceramic material surrounded by. The ceramic material that is trapped surrounded by is not a sculpture that has been coated.
Telltale if its all bronze is simple for someone that has looked at many of them. Many resin sculptures just have a faux bronze paint end. Take it to an art gallery and let someone look at it that has seen a lot of real bronzes.
Hope this helps.
I have a question: can the EXACT same mold (effigy), be cast as solid bronze, as ceramic only, and as bronze-coated ceramic?
The reason for my question is I bought a effigy on eBay that is listed as “solid bronze”…but after I bought it, someone posted an identical one, same size, shape, affect, etc…but said it was “bronze-plated ceramic”.
The final question…How can I tell it is all bronze without breaking it open (it is on a marble base)? The sound of the ring???
Please let me know
