Iolani Palace Oahu Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The only royal palace on American soil, coral block and American Florentine columns in the middle of downtown Honolulu. King Kalākaua finished it in 1882; his sister Liliʻuokalani inherited the throne, lost the kingdom in 1893, and spent eight months under house arrest upstairs in 1895. The throne room is still set. The koa wood still glows. Visitors slip cloth covers over their shoes before walking the floors. People come back quiet.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
