Glass Berry Vase, Large

A generous sphere of glass — fourteen inches in every direction — the Large Glass Berry Vase from John Richard achieves its quiet authority through pure geometry and a considered layering of materials. Nickel and enamel finishes play against the inherent luminosity of the glass, while brass accents introduce a warm counterpoint that keeps the composition from reading as simply cool or minimal. It is the kind of object that holds a room in place, functioning as sculpture as readily as it does vessel.
