RE: Many Facets of Bone China

The thought about the new generations not creating anything heirloom worthy had never crossed my mind before. However, it may come to that point again as we continue to question our disposable culture. There are so many aspects to look at. Recyclability, biodegradability, durability and reusability (not entirely sure they are actually all words, but maybe they should be 😉). All have their places.

We are getting sick of things that don't last; maybe not on the technology side, but certainly on the functional side.

It's easy to decry the declining quality of many goods on the market. It's a lot harder to examine the causes of shrinking quantity and quality in nearly everything, though. The popular answer is usually capitalism and corporate greed, but there are serious underlying factors including the perpetual devaluation of the dollar versus the desire to maintain an apparent price stability, the buying power of consumers versus cost of production, and who knows what else.

We like to have a single, simple cause to blame. Maybe because it makes for an easier solution. Causes are rarely that simple, though.
