If you thought selecting a set of china from so many beautiful choices was a difficult decision, try storing and displaying the collection. Where’s the best place to display china? Do you display the entire collection? Can you stack plates? Hang teacups? Fine china needs to be handled differently than your everyday dinnerware, and it should be stored separately as well. A glass cabinet, be it a hutch or in a built-in, is your best bet. The glass protects your china while allowing you to show it off in style. Whether you’re storing it for your next special occasion or safekeeping it for the next generation, here’s how to display china in a glass cabinet.
