Ceramics and Bone China: Take Them Out to Use

Porcelain and bone china: put them to use. A set of traditionally patterned porcelain. Blue and white or famille rose teapots, teacups, and plates, with gold rims; they are not collectibles stored in a cabinet, but are placed on the dining table, open shelves, and coffee tables, in use. Some cups still contain tea. They are not a matching set, coming from different combinations but with coordinated colors. Avoid: locking porcelain in glass display cabinets, using plain white modern tableware, arranging porcelain in neat matching sets, using purely decorative porcelain that is not used at all.

一組傳統圖案的瓷器。青花或粉彩的茶壺、茶杯與盤子,邊緣有金邊;它們不是收在櫃子裡的收藏,而是放在餐桌上、開放層架上與矮几上,正在使用。有些杯子裡還有茶。它們不成套,來自不同的組合但顏色協調。避免:把瓷器鎖在玻璃展示櫃裡、使用素白的現代餐具、讓瓷器成套整齊排列、使用完全不使用的裝飾瓷器。
