A Single Crystal Bloom

A single botanical form rendered in stone and quartz, this John Richard work captures the arrested moment of a bloom in crystalline suspension, its enamel finish lending the surface a luminous, almost porcelain depth. At seven and a half inches tall, the composition is intimate in scale yet commanding in presence — the kind of object that quietly anchors a curated vignette on a console or occasional table. The interplay between the geological materiality of quartz and the refined smoothness of enamel speaks to a sensibility that finds equal beauty in the natural and the crafted.
