Furled Bowl

A sculptural study in light and arrested motion, the Furled Bowl by John Richard captures the organic drama of hand-blown art glass at its most assured. At once vessel and composition, its generous form — nineteen inches across and rising six and a half inches — commands a surface with the quiet authority of something that has always belonged exactly where it rests. The hand-blown technique lends each piece an inherent singularity, the glass shaped by breath and heat into a furled silhouette that reads differently as the light moves through the day.
