Safiya Vase I

A generous vessel of quiet authority, the Safiya Vase I by John Richard unites porcelain, glass, crystal, and brass in a composition that rewards sustained attention. Standing just over fourteen inches, its proportions are neither timid nor imposing — the diameter holds a confident ten inches, grounding the form with a sense of ceremonial stillness. This is an object that earns its place on a console or library shelf not through ornament alone, but through the considered interplay of its materials, each surface catching light in its own register.
