I remember my Moms fine china and that it was only for special occasions to impress guests. It seemed to confer some form of status. I often think about what it means to own an object and to have those objects denote a social class. Does a loss of the objects result in a social demotion? The title hints at class conflict by alluding to the French revolution.
