Glass Dragon Sculpture, Large Amber

A commanding presence rendered entirely in art glass, the Large Amber Dragon Sculpture from John Richard arrests the eye with its molten warmth and sculptural tension — light moving through it the way it moves through amber itself, slow and ancient. At fourteen and a half inches tall, it occupies space with genuine authority, the sinuous form reading as both artifact and architecture. This is the kind of object that earns a room's most considered placement, a mantel, a vitrine, a solitary pedestal where nothing competes with its glow.
