The ease of constructing a mold for porcelain certainly gives the material an advantage over plastic, and small quantities of parts could be quickly designed and produced if necessary. Having said that I feel the joints require a bit more resolution (just a personal opinion).

A high-impact polymer (semi-flexible?) would be a better choice. Agreed. A high-impact polymer (semi-flexible?) would be a better choice.

I like it, can think of interesting uses for it and would even consider paying for it. The latter point rather suggesting your analysis might be flawed. Perhaps you were rather too satisfied with a pleasingly crafted comment that admittedly made me laugh than you should be with with the content of the slur. A little ego showing through? David Kohn (British Architect) produced a beautiful exhibition using a similar theme (albeit using more robust materials for a public building) which goes some way to proving the concept at least.
