From island to island

Different islands, similar lanterns: Just have a look at Martin Storz' public eye blog. On Tenerifa he has found a shadow casting lantern, mounted on a skilfully crafted wrought iron arm. My Krk lantern shows splendid clear lines, but I fear this is not caused by the islanders' love for straight forms (there ceramics at least speak a different language) but because of the chinese lamp producer's knowledge about market acceptance.

In Krk you can find other lanterns, too. The one to the rights hangs in front of an architrave of probably venetian times origin.
