Bridge of Sighs
$22.00
A covered bridge of white Istrian stone, arched over a narrow canal between the Doge's Palace and the old prison. Prisoners crossed it on the way to their cells; the story goes they sighed at the last of Venice through the stone grille, and Lord Byron gave it the name that stuck. From the water below, gondolas slow under the arch at dusk. The two small windows are barred, and the view through them is exactly as wide as the legend needs it to be.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
