Vieux Nice Old Town

The old quarter of Nice, held between the climb to the Colline du Château and the long sweep of the Baie des Anges. Pink and ochre Italianate facades, terracotta roofs, lanes narrow enough to throw a shadow across an entire street. Until 1860 this was a Sardinian port; the kitchens still pull from Liguria. Socca on the griddle, pissaladière on the trays. The flower market at Cours Saleya opens early. By nine the sun has reached the lower walls and the colour the south is famous for begins.

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