Moonlit Garden Vase, Large

A generous ceramic form, fourteen inches tall and equally commanding in its width, the Moonlit Garden Vase arrives as something closer to a painting than a vessel. Its hand-painted surface unfolds in a quiet narrative of botanicals and atmosphere, finished in a luminous glaze that draws gold through every detail with the unhurried confidence of fine decorative arts. The scale is deliberate — substantial enough to anchor a console or entry, yet refined enough to hold its place beside objects of great delicacy. A signature work from John Richard, it carries the lineage of collected, storied interiors.
