Magpie Vase, Small

A slender porcelain form rising seventeen and a half inches, the Magpie Vase carries its glazed surface with the quiet authority of a piece that understands its own presence in a room. The silhouette is both architectural and organic — disciplined enough to anchor a console, assured enough to stand alone on a pedestal or plinth. John Richard's execution speaks to a long tradition of ceramic artistry translated into the contemporary interior, where glaze becomes not merely finish but the whole of the object's character.
