Umbral Currents Vase

Umbral Currents arrives as a study in suspended movement, its hand-blown art glass form capturing the precise moment when deep currents seem to fold and drift beneath a darkened surface. At twelve and a half inches, the silhouette holds genuine sculptural authority — broad enough at the shoulder to command a console or entry table without demanding conversation, yet refined enough to recede gracefully into a considered vignette. John Richard's mastery of the medium is evident in the way light travels through and across the glass, revealing tonal depth that shifts from hour to hour with the changing quality of a room.
