29 10 2009Love is like a teardrop. It forms in an eye and falls to the heart. This saying is also poignant for the Lednice-Valtice area. Once visitors come here they will always remember it.
The dream of designer Daniel Piršč came true in Mikulov. He chose this South Moravian town over Prague where he had lived for almost two decades and in 2005 he opened his own registered studio called Studio Pirsc Porcelain. Art manufacturing was born in poetic surroundings of a ceremonial hall at the Mikulov Jewish cemetery. It is here where unique pieces of art are created which are an interesting alternative to porcelain mass production.
Every evening, reflections of soft light can be seen in the windows of the Jewish quarter in Mikulov. Pinkish wall of the Upper Synagogue, arches of ground floor housing and their shadowy alcoves are the last reminders of rich Jewish past in town. Stories, that became legends, had been written on four thousand tombstones in the Jewish cemetery. For example the one about Golem, a strong man made of clay that is brought to life by having a marble put in his forehead. This artificial man was created right in the Jewish quarter of Mikulov. And that was in the head of former Mikulov rabbi Jehud Levy.
