Rays of Blue and White Glass Charger

A sculptural work in hand-painted glass, this charger by John Richard commands attention through its radiating composition of blue and white — a palette as enduring as porcelain, as luminous as light passing through water. At nearly thirty-eight inches across, the scale is emphatically architectural, conceived to anchor a wall or surface with the quiet authority of a collector's acquisition. The clear glass ground lends the piece an ethereal translucency, allowing the painted gesture to breathe and shift with the surrounding light throughout the day.
