Bunratty Castle
$22.00
A tower house on the River Ratty, eight miles west of Limerick. The fourth castle to stand on this riverbank. The first three burned or were pulled down between the 1250s and the 1350s. This one was built around 1425 by the MacNamaras, kept by the O'Briens, then left empty for the better part of three centuries. Lord Gort bought it in 1954 and put a roof back on it. By 1960 the public could walk in. The walls are thick enough that summer takes its time getting inside.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
