Burano
$22.00
A small island in the Venetian Lagoon, an hour by vaporetto north of San Marco. The houses are painted in bands of cadmium and cobalt and rose, a tradition the fishermen kept so they could find the right door coming home through the fog. The bell tower of San Martino leans a few degrees off true. Women still work lace on the cushions at the doors of the houses on Via Galuppi, the same fine merletto Burano has been known for since the seventeenth century. Most day-trippers come and go on the half-hour boats. The light at four in the afternoon is the thing.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
