Old Head of Kinsale
$22.00
A long, narrow headland on the south Cork coast, ending in a white lighthouse and a drop to the Celtic Sea. The current light has stood since 1853; the signal tower at the neck goes back further. Off this coast the Lusitania went down in May 1915, and the headland was the last land the passengers would have seen. On a clear afternoon the green of the grass and the green of the water are different greens, and the white of the tower is the brightest thing for miles.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
