Plume Bowl, Small Brass

A sculptural vessel of polished brass, the Plume Bowl commands attention through the quiet authority of its form — its generous mouth tapering to a considered base, the whole reading as both utilitarian object and pure composition. At six and a half inches tall and just under eleven inches across, it occupies space with the confidence of something far larger, the mirrored metal surface animating with reflected light throughout the day. From John Richard, it is the kind of piece that anchors a console or shelf not by demanding attention, but by rewarding it.
