china set
Formal meal service
A china set is a matching collection of porcelain dinnerware—plates, bowls, cups, saucers, and serving pieces—typically in a unified pattern.
China sets are often formal, reserved for special occasions or passed down as heirlooms: She registered for a china set before the wedding.
A full set may include place settings for eight or twelve.
