I've always been annoyed by "fine China". If something is so fragile that it can't be used, then it is worthless to me.
On the flip side, it's kind of interesting that products made in china are now synonymous with "cheap crap", while at one time we held finely made, fragile cups from China on display in our homes.
- barrkel 9y agoFine china of the generation we're talking about here is typically made in Europe - the fine bone china my grandmother owns was made in England. China in this context refers to porcelain, using techniques learned from China.
- kaybe 9y agoFine china is fun. There is an endless and very cheap supply of these things on the fleamarket, so one can use them with abandon. If they break, just get more.
- danieltillett 9y agoThis is my opinion too. You can eat off great china for next to nothing. Low-end auction houses are also great places to pick up whole sets on the cheap. At the very worst these are a lot more interesting than plain white junk.
