Vitis

This is a picturesque victorian facade ceramic mural based on a sketch of William Morris’s The Vine framed with tiles painted with polychromic majolica glazes.

Wonderful vines of grapes blossomed on the facade of a townhouse in a cottage community near Moscow, framed by Morris’s willow shoots, transferred to frost-resistant ceramics.

The task was to link the overall color scheme of the house, clad with beige and brown stone, the steps of the porch and the Morris’s grape vine ornament. This was quite successful, and some brightness of the tiles will be compensated for over time by wild grapes growing at the foot of the house. Very soon the grapevines will tangle the facade and balcony of the second floor, and our victorian facade ceramic mural will gently peek out from under the lush green leaves, as if intriguing and inviting to look at its glossy luster and richness of colors.
