8 Modern Fine China Sets We’re Lusting After

The holidays are the time to break out the good stuff—and by good stuff, we mean the fine china. In many families, special occasions are the only time the fine china gets dusted off and put on display (no judgment). Whether you're a three-times-a-year user or you serve meals on your porcelain dishes on a daily basis, it's always nice to have some fancy dinnerware in your household if you can afford it. After all, you never know when you might want to impress an unexpected visitor or simply feel the urge to make a regular night in feel special.

As much as we love equestrian scenes and toile prints, we're eschewing the traditional when it comes to our plates today. Instead, we're setting our sites on modern fine china sets (that you'll be more likely to use on a regular basis). Think simple, minimalist designs, chic color schemes, and even dishwasher safe options.

Created by effortlessly cool designers like Vera Wang, Kelly Wearstler, and Kate Spade (just to name a few) there's dinnerware for every design taste. Keep reading to shop eight of our favorite modern china sets and get inspired to host a formal dinner party of your own.
