Product Description
Product Description
The principal objective of The Chin Family, the collection created by the collaboration between Alessi and Taiwan's National Palace Museum, was to create a figure concept that would be a mascot for the museum. With this brief, Stefano Giovannoni created a whole family of little characters, each with their own special domestic role. The technology used to make the characters is unusual: instead of being made with a single moulding injection, each object is moulded in separate pieces and then assembled, like wooden figurines. The details of the artistically-interpreted Oriental clothing are painted by hand.

Bought this and a pink one for my parents weekly boiled egg as a stocking filler. As others have said, they are overpriced for what they are, but everyone who has seen them has loved them and certainly add a little quirkeness to the breakfast table when used. A good idea as a little something extra to buy as a gift. Incidentally you have to wipe them down carefully to clean, and don't force the spoon back into the holder!
yes, its plastic, but very high quality plastic, with perfect hand painted finish and there are no bad moulding edges. If this had been a ceramic product, it would probably be even more expensive and not very durable. Alessi products are normally pretty tough in my experience so they can be used as designed for years to come, not just sit on the shelf as an ornament.
As an ornament of course, my yellow Mr Chin is very bright and cheerful and adds a personal, quirky touch to the windowsill of my rather small kitchen which has only a few carefully chosen pieces on display to avoid looking cluttered. and it looks great next to my Mr Boiley egg boiler :)
