“A protected curve of water at the top of the lake, where the village holds the shoreline and Mill Falls drops through the old textile mill into the bay. The M/S Mount Washington calls at the town dock through the summer; sailboats moor off Hesky Park. In winter, ice-fishing bobhouses appear on the bay overnight and stay until March. — from the studio

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Meredith Bay sits on the northwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, in the town of Meredith, New Hampshire. The bay opens off the main lake between Bear Island and the mainland and reaches inland to the village dock at the foot of Main Street. Mill Falls, the bay's namesake drop, falls about 40 feet through the centre of town, between Lake Waukewan and Meredith Bay, and once powered the village's textile and grist mills.

— the visit

The town dock at the foot of Main Street is one of the M/S Mount Washington's regular ports of call; the boat has run on Winnipesaukee since 1872 and the current vessel since 1940. Hesky Park and Scenic Park sit either side of the bay with shoreline walks and benches. The Inn at Mill Falls, Church Landing, and the Common Man restaurants line the upper shore. Most parking is free; the village is walkable end to end.

— informed by M/S Mount Washington
— the water

Lake Winnipesaukee covers about 72 square miles and holds more than 250 islands. Meredith Bay is one of the lake's calmer corners, protected from the prevailing southwesterly wind by the village and the high ground behind it. The water is clear; the lake's average depth is around 43 feet, with a maximum of about 180 feet off Rattlesnake Island. Loons nest on the quieter islands and call across the bay at dusk.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. The shape of Meredith Bay and the village shoreline is one of the most-recognised views on the lake. A Small or Medium reads well on a desk, an entryway shelf, or in a lake-house mudroom.

It sits well in Lake-house traditional, New England coastal, and Cottage-modern rooms. The piece anchors against wainscoting, painted shiplap, or a deep navy or hunter-green wall.

A single Large carries above a standard sofa. For a longer wall a 4-tile Mural or 9-tile Mural opens the bay and gives the shoreline the horizontal room it has in real life.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and built for showers, backsplashes, and vertical installations where a glossy finish would catch glare.

A soft microfibre cloth with water. No abrasive cleaners, no solvents. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure and lives in the surface.

Yes. Every piece in the WenderVista atlas is curated and finished in one studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. There is no third-party licensing and no stock imagery.
