Malachite Vessel, Large

An imposing presence on any surface, the Malachite Vessel reads as both sculpture and artifact — its antiqued brass and stone composition lending it the gravitas of something unearthed rather than manufactured. The generous scale, nearly thirteen inches tall and equally resolved in width and depth, commands the kind of quiet authority that anchors a vignette without overwhelming it. This is a piece that rewards closeness: the interplay of aged metal and raw stone speaks to a curatorial sensibility, the sort of object a well-traveled eye selects once and keeps forever.
