What are some examples of China?

• A. Porcelain, bisque, stoneware, pottery, and terra-cotta
• B. Plates of all sizes, dishes, cups, saucers, and underliners
• C. Decanters, carafes, pitchers, and all drinking vessels used at the table or bar for water, soft drinks, beer, wine, cocktails, and after dinner drinks
• D. Candlesticks, coffeepots, platters, silver trays

Answer: (B)

In restaurant service, china refers to the dinnerware used at the table—plates in various sizes, bowls or dishes, cups, saucers, and the pieces that accompany a place setting such as underliners. The option that lists plates of all sizes, dishes, cups, saucers, and underliners matches this idea exactly, since it describes the core components people interact with when dining on china. The other options point to different categories: materials like porcelain and stoneware are types of ceramic ware, not the specific items in a place setting; decanters, carafes, and pitchers are drinking vessels and fall under glassware or beverage service rather than china; and candlesticks, coffeepots, platters, and silver trays are serving or decorative pieces, not the standard dinnerware used at the table.
