Paper Porcelain Espresso Saucer, Prototype
This is a Espresso saucer, prototype. It was designed by Scholten & Baijings. It is dated 2009 and we acquired it in 2014. Its medium is slip cast, fired unglazed porcelain with added metal drill dust, applied glazed line, applied marker or ink. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The Paper Porcelain tableware series was conceived as a project to translate paper models—an integral part of the designer’s process—into porcelain. Dutch designers Stefan Scholten (b. 1972) and Carole Baijings (b. 1973) started by drawing to figure out forms, geometry, and color. Next, they created cut, folded, scored, and taped cardboard models, and then unglazed porcelain prototypes. To recreate the cardboard’s spotted, gray surface in the porcelain prototypes, the designers developed a specific mix of porcelain to which they added metal drill dust. Strips of paper tape on the cardboard models were recreated using ceramic glazes. Pencil lines applied by hand to the porcelain prototypes indicated the scored lines of the cardboard. The final tableware manufactured by Hay is made of molded and glazed porcelain, and faithfully mimics the spotted gray of the original cardboard and the beige “paper tape.”
It is credited Museum purchase from General Acquisitions Endowment Fund.
