A square neoclassical pavilion on the grounds of Versailles, given to Marie Antoinette in 1774 and kept by her as a private retreat. Louis XV had it built for Madame de Pompadour, who died before it opened. The four facades look toward four different gardens: one formal, one English, one botanical, one the small village she added later. The queen forbade court etiquette inside. A footman who entered without being called could be sent away. It is small for a royal house, and quiet, and that was the point.

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