The oldest of the four bridges over the Grand Canal, and for more than 250 years the only one. Antonio da Ponte set a single arch of pale Istrian stone across the water in 1591, two ramps of shops climbing to a portico at the crown. People have crossed it every day since. Early, before the market on the San Polo side fills, the stone holds a soft light and the canal underneath goes quiet between boats. Then the vaporetti start, and the bridge belongs to everyone again.

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