Snowswept Glass Vase, Large

Standing sixteen and a half inches tall, the Snowswept Glass Vase is an exercise in arrested movement — its hand-blown form capturing the quiet turbulence of a winter sky rendered in matte art glass. The surface carries the intimate irregularities that only a glassblower's breath can produce, each vessel emerging as a singular object rather than a repeated one. John Richard's artisan atelier brings to this piece the same editorial sensibility that defines the collection: an understanding that the most compelling objects hold stillness and tension in equal measure.
