Unfurled Bowl

A sculptural study in arrested motion, the Unfurled Bowl from John Richard captures the languid drama of glass at its most expressive — petals of hand-blown art glass caught mid-release, as though a single breath suspended them there. At seventeen inches across and standing six and a half inches tall, the form commands presence without demanding it, occupying a surface with the quiet authority of something both made and discovered. The hand-blown finish ensures that no two pieces are precisely alike, each one bearing the subtle memory of the maker's gesture in its contours and light.
