Porcelain Gardens Vase, Small

A considered studio object rendered in porcelain, the small Porcelain Gardens Vase from John Richard arrives hand painted beneath a refined glaze, its surface carrying the quiet authority of a piece that rewards prolonged attention. Standing just over twenty inches in height, the form holds a composed verticality — slender enough to anchor a console without overwhelming it, substantial enough to read across a room. It is the kind of decorative work that does not announce itself loudly but instead settles into a space and gradually becomes indispensable.
