This ceramic hand-operated utility container is made from china, in China.

It is non-toxic, non-magnetic, non-radioactive, semi-recyclable, non-polluting, non-disposable, non-conductive, non-elastic, multipurpose and user-programmable.

It cannot be used as a facemask, nor does it offer any protection from novel coronavirus.

The subtle digitally printed enhancement of passive human readable and machine readable markers –

– including our internet communications software and information dispensary hypermedia portal and studio contact details –

– this modest passive multi-purpose communications, storage and delivery device enables a depth of capacity and limitless scope, offering a profound environment and protypical design statement pertaining to human interface, user experience, contents, formatting, and right-sizing.

If used correctly this device can make almost any feat of modern engineering or representation a reality, and a joy to experience and learn from.

With the integrated passive optical marker enhancement any additional feature or process can be integrated – this device is merely the calling card. However, thanks to the included passive marker system, unlike other receptacles, this container can also act as the door handle actuator, and/or the doorbell button to push.

This 21st century monocoque ceramic device can be used as a three dimensional “space mouse” and user interface pointing device for automation and immersive experiences, in additon to a china cup’s conventional dispensing and temporary storage purpose.

The default receptacle is a meditation upon the dual and interconnected principals of ecological responsibility and quality of user experience, and this timeless modern rapid-manufactured implementation of an ancient baked earth pot illustrates our ongoing campaign against the use of single-use disposable plastic packaging.

The use of disposable paper or plastic cups is inadvisable within a professional production environment or a leisure context.
We particularly recommend the use of china cups.
