Mariposa California
$22.00
A gold-rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills, on State Route 140, the western road into Yosemite. The county courthouse has been holding court since 1854 and is the oldest one still in use west of the Mississippi. The name is Spanish for butterfly. An 1806 Spanish expedition came through and found the air thick with them. The grass turns gold in July and holds that colour until the rains. East of town the road climbs through the Merced River canyon and the granite begins.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
