Handblown Abstract Sapphire Glass Bowl I

A vessel as much sculptural object as functional form, this handblown glass bowl from John Richard arrests the eye with its abstracted silhouette and hand-painted sapphire finish, each piece inevitably one of a kind. The interplay of clear and painted glass creates depth that shifts with the light, lending the composition an almost aqueous, atmospheric quality. At once meditative and commanding, it anchors a console, library shelf, or dining tableau with the quiet authority of serious collected work.
