A 38-room Scandinavian-revival house built in 1929 at the head of Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe's west shore. Lora Josephine Knight, a Chicago heiress, commissioned the Swedish-born architect Lennart Palme to design it after she had toured the fjords of Norway and Sweden. The walls are local granite, the timbers were hand-hewn, and the sod roof grows wildflowers each spring. The house is reached only by a steep one-mile foot trail down from Highway 89, or by boat across the bay. Fannette Island, the only island in Lake Tahoe, sits in the water just offshore, with a small stone tea house at its summit.

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