Beach/bath towel by James Rosenquist

These three souvenir teaspoons by Ai Weiwei make playful use of the artist's work "Study of Perspective" a series of images that's featured in MoMA's collection, amongst others. The photographs show the artist lifting his middle finger to iconic manmade landmarks around the world. It's an initially humorous act that signifies the power of the artist's rejection of authority. The teaspoons feature Tiananmen Square, the Eiffel Tower and the White House.

Made in collaboration with the artist and our partners at Third Drawer Down Studio.

The porcelain plate series by Kehinde WIley includes six designs featuring details from paintings spanning 2008-2012. The six different faces -- 3 male and 3 female -- are cropped against colorful, vibrant backgrounds so the plates are equally decorative and functional. The back of each plate has easy holes for hanging, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe.

In the early 1980s, Sol LeWitt and his family bought a rustic farmhouse in Spoleto, Italy. While in Rome looking for new dishes, he and his wife, Carol, discovered that the maiolica pottery they so admired was made locally, almost in their backyard, in Deruta. Italy. The craftspeople in Deruta were continuing the more than 600 year old tradition of creating maiolica, a technique of applying a glossy base glaze whitened with tin oxide onto fired clay pottery. Vivid, hand-painted colors are then added and the pieces are fired again.

LeWitt designed his own dinnerware in Deruta and these same pieces are now available through Artware Editions in the full range of colors the artist intended. Each piece is made by hand by the same artisans who for generations have kept this proud and classic Italian tradition alive. This dinnerware is lead-free and dishwasher safe.
