Golden Biscuit (and Centerpiece)
Studio Job
Studio Job
The 'Golden Biscuit' collection is a gold-painted edition based on Studio Job's collection 'Biscuit' for Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum, the Netherlands, originally produced in bisque white porcelain, and introduced at the Salone del Mobile, Milan, April 2006. Each piece is signed and numbered in a limited edition of eight by Studio Job.
The suite includes nine different white plates and five centre pieces, based on the artists’ characteristic allegorical reliefs with fairy tale and phantasy figures. The five centre pieces are all different ceramic cakes with a function like a vase, box, candle holder or lantern. The refined craftsmanship is reflected in a newly developed porcelain technique.
Royal Tichelaar Makkum, who produced the porcelain and the original "Biscuit" series, was established in 1572 and the oldest company in the Netherlands, regularly presents new work by leading designers. In recent years the company
cooperated, for instance, with JongeriusLab, Jurgen Bey and Marcel Wanders. Such cooperation projects stimulate creativity in modern designers and enrich the ancient
traditions of Delftware production. The company’s fame as producers of their extensive range of hand painted earthenware and tiles, reaches far beyond the borders of the Dutch realm. Meanwhile, the company does by no means limit application of its vast knowledge of ceramics and unparalleled experience to these well-known classical and contemporary products.
"After our successful cooperation around Still Life in 2005, Studio Job was approached for an entirely new project. We had acquired a rather basic press, which had been made obsolete many years ago by vastly more efficient machines for the ceramic industry. Its advantage, however, is that it allows deeper reliefs than your average state-of-the-art tool. After two years of finding a suitable clay and getting to grips with porcelain, Studio Job was signed on for developing a new collection. 'Bisquit' counts nine different white plates and five objects, based on the designer's characteristics, interwoven with fairy tales and imaginative figures.
The five objects are different tarts with a function, such as vase, box, candle or lantern. The plates are richly decorated with reliefs, the front as well as at the back. The international press gave 'Bisquit' a rousing reception and published enthusiastically about it. " -Tichelaar Makkum
In 2007 the "Cake of Peace" was acquired by The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for their permanent collection.
