Objects for the Rich: Tiffany & Co.’s Horrific “Every Objects” Series

Are rich people running out of things to spend their money on?

Tiffany & Co.’s “Every Objects” series provides a stark reminder that some people have a lot of money to burn. Consider that the company is selling, and that presumably there’s a demand for, a $1,000 tin can:

Sorry, that’s a Sterling silver can with a blue stripe on it.

Description & Details
The Everyday Objects collection transforms utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art. A classic tin can is upgraded in sterling silver and shining vermeil.

- Sterling silver and vermeil with Tiffany Blue® enamel accent
- 4.5" high
- Instantly recognizable, the signature Tiffany Blue® hue of this design’s enamel accent has been as iconic as the brand itself since its founding in 1837

Other objects in this collection that fill me with disgust:

A $350 “Chinese Food Pillbox,” also in Sterling silver, and described in the product listing as being “the embodiment of wit and whimsy.”

A $950 “Paper Plate,” also in Sterling silver, but this one only described as being “infused with modern wit.”

This $1,500 18-karat gold “Paper Clip Bookmark,” listed as “the perfect whimsical desk accessory.”

These objects are neither “witty” nor “whimsical.” They’re just expensive. And they exist only for the sake of existing.
