Colosseum
$22.00
The largest amphitheatre Rome ever built, and the one the city could never quite tear all the way down. Eighty arches ring the ground floor; the crowd that filled them, fifty thousand and more, has been gone for fifteen centuries. What's left is the shape: a broken oval that holds the morning light along its eastern arc and lets it fall straight through to the exposed floor below. People come by the millions and still go quiet at the first sight of it, the way you do at something that outlasted everyone who built it.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
