Abstract: Today, with cheaply produced plasticware introduced in the 1960s and foods that can be consumed directly out of the wrapper, our culture has essentially acknowledged the necessity for function and convenience when eating. I have embraced the idea of the positive effects of quality, married it with the abounding specialization found in Victorian flatware, and created a series of wares explicitly for the consumption of doughnuts and pizza. Using my eating utensils as an instrument for commentary, I encourage the scrutinizing examination of American eating habits.
