Midnight Dust Vase, Large

Rendered in hand-blown art glass, the Midnight Dust Vase commands attention through the quiet drama of its form — a generous, grounded silhouette that rises with unhurried confidence to eleven and a half inches. The surface carries the inherent depth and luminous variation that only the glassblower's breath can produce, giving each piece a presence that is simultaneously sculptural and elemental. From John Richard, it is the kind of object that anchors a composition without overwhelming it, a study in restraint that rewards the discerning eye.
