Details from the maker

This Stoneware & Co rendition of the infamous Twin Spires at Churchill Downs is an artful rendition and functioning bookend or decor piece. The Twin Spires of Churchill Downs are a recognizable landmark and symbol for not only the most famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby, but also Louisville itself. Constructed in 1895, the Twin Spires were the creation of a 24-year-old draftsman, Joseph Dominic Baldez. The hexagonal spires exemplify late 19th century architecture, in which symmetry and balance took precedence over functional.

This Stoneware rendition, with a green roof, includes a single spire as a bookend with the words “Run for the Roses” debossed on the sides.
