fine china
Grandmother's precious plates
Fine china is high-quality porcelain dinnerware, typically thin, translucent, and decorated with elegant patterns.
Distinguished from everyday dishes, fine china is reserved for special occasions and formal entertaining: We only use the fine china at Thanksgiving.
Sets are often wedding gifts or family heirlooms passed down through generations.
