"A collaboration that upholds beauty as an important element of human experience.
Simplicity is at the essence of Barbara's work, believing that nothing stands alone but is always a part of a larger whole.
Design is the place where simplicity and form come together to create harmony." - Barbara Barry
Middle Kingdom wares are inspired by a long and distinguished history of design and craftsmanship in porcelain, but we contribute a fresh and invigorating style to the genre.
Our seamless intertwining of design and craftsmanship creates restrained, beautiful works that are collected by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, MD. Middle Kingdom also collaborates with European and American artists to create objects of unassailable integrity that invite fresh looks at an ancient craft. Our latest collaboration with the celebrated designer Barbara Barry debuts exclusively at NYNOW this week.
