Montague Vase, Large

The Montague Vase in its large scale is a study in considered contrast — hand-blown art glass rising from a champagne-finished aluminum form, its textured enamel surface catching light with the quiet authority of a sculptural object rather than a vessel. At over twenty inches in height, the proportions are deliberate and commanding, calibrated to anchor a console, a library table, or any surface that benefits from a singular, unhurried presence. John Richard brings to it the same curatorial sensibility that defines the collection at large: materials in dialogue, finish as a design decision, and form that rewards a second look.
