China Cabinet...


I'm sure this phrase doesn't translate, but in the United States a display cabinet (or curio cabinet) that typically holds glassware or porcelain dishes is called a China Cabinet.

If a woman is throwing (having) a party, it can be said she will bring out her best China!

China is the accepted word for delicate porcelain dishes.
