What is even the point of dishes you can't eat off of? My bubbi died a few months back and nobody wanted any of that shit. Why was fine porcelain ever popular? I don't understand the point of it beyond conspicuous consumption.

      Why do white people buy a bunch of porcelain plates and just lock them in a cabinet? It's just the default material for bowls and plates in China (and I assume most of East and Southeast Asia) and no one treats it like some fancy heirloom unless its ancient or made by some hyped up master.
