The name of this artifact is called Calbo Dinnerware. This entire set was made in 1950. The name itself influenced me by telling me what the set actually is. If the name wasn’t there I actually wouldn’t have known this was dinner where I thought it would be a picnic item. The creator behind this artwork is named Colette Bocarra; what we can see through her pottery is one of the earliest versions of Calbo Dinnerware. Sure, we have seen how Colbo Dinnerware looks like before but have you seen a design that looks like that before. During the time the artist created her work there weren’t as many women who went into the architect field even though she graduated from her university of Buenos Aires even though she was only one of the 6 women who actually graduated from that school. 

I think the artist chose to create this set due to the lack of creativity a female can provide. During that Women weren’t allowed to get a job so designing was out of the question. I think she made this so she can prove to people that even females can design artwork and such. What she wants to get across to her female audience is there’s more out than being a housewife. I personally think the purpose of this artwork is to give you an idea of what it was like living in that era. It is pretty different compared to modern times. Not to mention the artwork shape and design can give us an idea on what the artist was thinking when making this in the process. By looking at it, a person is better than looking at it from a book or online. If it is from either one of these sources the most I would think of is “oh wow this is something I didn’t know about this artwork or cool I didn’t even know this artwork existed until now”. However if I look at it in person I would be amazed how the artist was able to construct the artwork. It gave you a whole new experience because you’re actually seeing it in front of you and it real. 

The message of this artifact would be directed to women because of what was happening at that time. I think the author wanted to say if they create work and make something out of their own two hands why can’t the rest of the women follow in her footsteps as well. The artwork does require some familiarity with what’s going on considering it was the 1950 it made sense why the dinnerware was made. It may not be an artwork fully but it does tell people women’s creative design is no less than a man’s back in the day. She wants women to get out of the house and start to think about what they want to do in life. The artifact itself gave me a calming feeling like I’m in the woods looking at the breeze the wind blows through my hair and feeling the cooling breeze nature provided for me but it’s mostly because of the color that give that type of feeling. 

Overall the author presents the argument of the piece could be why aren’t there more women in the architect field better yet any field with its design. This was the first time I saw a design like this back in the 1950 this just proves how little the industry lacks womens even if they think they don’t need it they actually do. This set of dinnerware is proof women can make something as amazing as this; they just weren’t given a chance to do it on their own yet. Colette Bocarra was one of the few that did so she decided to expand her ideas on the architect side and created these types of designs.
