Dryad Pendant

The Dryad Pendant by John Richard commands attention through its interplay of hand-blown clear glass and textured, etched brass — a pairing that speaks equally to the craft of the glassblower and the discipline of the metalsmith. At thirty-three inches in height, its proportions are assertive without overwhelming, scaling beautifully in double or triple configurations above a dining table or within a generous entry hall. Light moves through the etched glass with an organic diffusion, softening the room while the brass armature holds the composition with quiet authority.
