china cabinet
Porcelain showcase furniture
A china cabinet is a piece of furniture designed to store and display fine dinnerware, glassware, and decorative items.
It typically features glass doors and sides that allow the contents to be seen while protecting them from dust, often with interior shelving and sometimes lighting.
China cabinets are common in dining rooms and are used to showcase heirloom pieces or special-occasion tableware.
Her grandmother's china cabinet held three generations of wedding gifts.
