they're cabinets...to put your china in.

back in olden times, kitchens weren't equipped with built in furniture to hold all your stuff and thangs. furniture makers built cabinets. if you had display worthy service ware, you got a glass faced cabinet to show off your prosperousness.

People in the good old days used to have dinner with their families without an electronic device. They stored their dishes in this structure.

This.

Also, once upon a time, it was common to have two sets of dishes, flatwear, and glassware: one for everyday, and another for holidays, dinner parties, and more formal occasions. You kept the everyday dishes in the kitchen, and the other set in a china cabinet, buffet (which is a piece of furniture), or sideboard. This piece of furniture was most often found in a dining room - which a lot of homes don't even have nowadays.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Haha - I thought the ebay discussion threads were boring. cool

Come here for relief from shop talk. China was art and family continuity in the olden dayz. Hence the cabinet to keep them in. Very nice things you can do with wall/picture rail displays too.

Hmm, wondering if there is more to this. Are you being forced/encroached into china cabinetry inclusion in some way - against your will?

Batman came up to me and hit me over the head with a vase, and then he said "T'PAU". I said, don't you mean "KAPOW"? He said "No, I've got china in my hand".
