Dishes and cups, in assorted shades of light brown and off-white, are approximately arranged in two rows on a pale blue surface. From left to right, the front row featrures a stack of three flat plates, a larger white dish with a brown elliptical design in the center, and a similarly decorated lipped shallow dish to the right. Behind this row, again from left to right, is a solid light brown, shallow dish. Behind this dish is a white, handleless cup, which darkens in shade to a reddish-brown near the bottom. Next to the cup is a larger, off-white serving bowl, within which there is a smaller, light brown bowl. To its right are five cups, all without handles; three light brown cups stacked atop each other, and two off-white cups side-by-side. The latter are faintly shaded in a light, reddish-brown around the bottom. Two organic shapes, one resin-like and honey brown in color, and another, solid black crumpled object, are placed in the left center and to the far right corner of the display.

Latitude for Uniqueness Series, 2014-ongoing

It was designed by Kirstie Van Noort. It is dated 2014-ongoing. Its medium is tableware, research samples. It is a part of the department.

Porcelain is a kaolin-based ceramic celebrated for its fragile yet hard surface and iconic, milky color, ideally suited for painted decoration. Embracing the clay that is typically discarded in traditional porcelain-making processes, Kirstie Van Noort’s line of porcelain tableware is distinguished by darker hues, challenging the historic emphasis on the material’s light color while minimizing waste.

A speckeled black lidded vessel sits atop a thin stand. The shape of the vessel resembles a submarine, its black form marked with irregular spackles of blue, orange, pink and white. The stand is structured with thin sticks, which appear fragile and worn in appearance, shaped similarly like a saw horse but with a curved deck to hold the object.
