Blizzard Bowl

A sculptural study in captured light, the Blizzard Bowl by John Richard renders art glass into something closer to weather than object — its interior movement evoking the suspended turbulence of a winter sky. At six and a half inches tall and just under ten inches wide, the piece holds its proportions with quiet authority, substantial enough to anchor a surface yet refined enough to coexist with arrangements of greater scale. The glass itself is the architecture here, its depth and chromatic complexity doing the work that carving or gilding might elsewhere.
