Ridged Porcelain Bowl

A considered work in glazed porcelain, this bowl from John Richard commands presence through its disciplined surface geometry — the ridged body catching light with quiet animation across its broad sixteen-inch span. Hand finishing lends each piece a subtle individuality, the glaze settling into the relief with the kind of tonal variation that only human touch can coax from a kiln. At eight inches in height, the proportion is deliberately low and expansive, inviting the eye to rest rather than climb. It is the sort of object that anchors a console or entry table with the unhurried confidence of something both ancient in its medium and entirely of the moment.
