Our term china for porcelain or ceramic ware is a shortening of chinaware and probably china dishes. Although the word china is identical in spelling to the name of the country, there are 16th- and 17th-century spellings like chiney, cheny, and cheney that reflect the borrowing into English of the Persian term for this porcelain.

not all dishes are called china, or chinaware. Wares that are made of ceramics/porcelain particularly were called china becoz they were first created in China.

I believe the finest examples of porcelain CAME from China.
