Emerald Art Glass and Roses

A hand-blown art glass vessel from John Richard, its deep emerald ground alive with the suspended movement of roses caught mid-bloom. At nine inches tall, the piece carries a presence well beyond its intimate scale — the kind of object that anchors a tabletop composition or punctuates a shelf with quiet authority. The hand-blown technique lends each example its own singular character, the glass pooling and thinning in ways no two pieces will ever precisely repeat.
