Kitsch of the Day (2012/03/02)
   The personal and the political are mixed in each piece. The only thing these objects have in common is that they are white, like the porcelain. Political symbols like weapons, corpses, doves of peace and Red Cross emergency vehicles are jumbled with sentimental motifs like a poodle, ice skates, ice cream cones, a Sumo wrestler and actors masks. One plate bears the debris of a war zone on the front, with crucifixes on the back and sperm swimming around the rim. Another pairs a spooky skeleton with cute lambs.
   The Green Frog was extraordinary. The empress of Russia insisted that each of the 944 pieces should bear the image of a frog — as the site of La Grenouillere was once called the Frog Marsh — and, as she was fashionably Anglophilic, a scene from British life. The service was made from Wedgwood’s simple, inexpensive creamware, a technical marvel of the time. The exceptional bit was the decoration. Josiah Wedgwood, the company’s founder, instructed artists to paint or draw no fewer than 1,244 views of Britain and even sent someone across the country with a camera obscura to document it.
   The result was Josiah Wedgwood’s vision of Britain during the Industrial Revolution: rural scenes of stately homes and quaint cottages alongside ironworks, canals and frenzied London streets. It’s fun to think of Catherine and her guests looking forward to discovering a splendid Georgian mansion on the new dish placed before them, only to gaze at a beautifully painted stretch of the Bridgewater Canal.
   That said, Biscuit is every bit as ingeniously made as the Green Frog. And it is an equally compelling portrayal of the worldview of its creators, Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel, the product designers behind Studio Job in Antwerp, Belgium, who were commissioned by the Dutch porcelain manufacturer Royal Tichelaar Makkum. By depicting an assortment of objects in unglazed, pressed porcelain, they have created a clever, kitschy, provocative, cruel and cheeky vision of contemporary life as they see it.
