A merchant's corner house on the rue des Marchands, built in 1537 by a hat maker who made his fortune trading silver out of the Val de Liepvre. Yellow Rouffach sandstone at the ground floor, timber above, a two-storey oriel that bends around the corner, and an octagonal stair-turret crowned with a small bulbous dome. Painted later, in 1577, by Christian Vacksterffer: emperors and evangelists and the coats of arms of Upper Alsace, all of it fading slowly into the wood. The first Renaissance gesture in Colmar, and still the corner the town gathers around.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
