Vela Vase III

A generous hand-blown glass form, the Vela Vase III carries the quiet authority of something shaped by breath and heat rather than machine — its 14-inch height and generous 12-inch width giving it the confident presence of a sculptural object as much as a vessel. The silhouette moves with an unhurried generosity, the kind of proportion that anchors a console or library shelf without demanding attention so much as rewarding it. From the John Richard collection, it speaks to a longstanding understanding that utility and beauty are never truly separate concerns.
