Definition
Plural of china; items made of porcelain or ceramic material, typically fine dishes used for special occasions.
Etymology
From 'china' (porcelain), which originated from the country of China where the material was invented around the 9th century. The word became the English term for porcelain itself.
Kelly Says
The word 'china' for porcelain shows how profoundly one country's invention becomes so associated with its source that the country's name becomes the material's name—kind of like how 'silk' comes from China too.
