What meaning can we ascribe to objects that were meant to have none? That’s the question Washington, D.C., porcelain studio Middle Kingdom (middlekingdomporcelain.com) addresses with its new collection of cheerful porcelain vases. Designed in collaboration with Dutch artist Foekje Fleur van Duin—who rescued the molds for the pieces from the canals of Rotterdam—the vessels playfully commemorate objects that were never meant to be anything more than trash.
