Blue Grotto Capri
$22.00
A sea cave on the north shore of Capri, reached by rowboat through a mouth barely a metre high. The boatmen have you lie flat and pull the boat through on a chain bolted to the rock. Then the dark opens and the whole cavern is lit from underneath, the water gone the colour of a lamp left on in another room. The light does not fall in from above. It rises through a second opening below the waterline, so the blue seems to come from the floor. Most days it is only open a few hours, when the sea lies still enough to let a small boat in.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
