Sunset Blossoms Vase

A slender ceramic column rising twenty-eight inches, the Sunset Blossoms Vase is finished in a hand-painted glaze that carries the unhurried quality of something made entirely by hand. Blossoms move across its surface with the loose confidence of fine brushwork, the palette evoking that particular warmth found at the edge of a long afternoon. Its restrained silhouette — narrow, vertical, composed — allows it to command a console or entry table without overwhelming the objects beside it. A considered work from John Richard, at once decorative and architectural.
