China spends most of the year in a cabinet where plates rub against each other. This box holds up to 12 small plates or saucers measuring around 7 inches across, each separated by a felt protector, inside a rigid shell that stands 7.5 inches high on an 8 inch square base.
The felt discs are the working part: they sit between pieces so glaze never touches glaze, absorbing the small movements that cause chips along the rim. Saucers and dessert plates are especially prone to that damage because they are stacked high and shifted often during holidays.
A viewing window on the front identifies the contents without opening anything, useful when several identical boxes sit together on a shelf holding different parts of a service. The lid lifts off completely so a stack can be lowered in straight, rather than tilted through a partial opening.
Two handles are riveted to the hard sides and rated to 25 pounds, enough for a full load of china carried up from a basement. Between uses the box folds flat and stacks with others in the range, so a whole dinner service can be stored in matching containers.
