20th wedding anniversary: china
A thin china cup lets light shine through and looks fragile, yet it’s fired at more than 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. That heat is what makes it strong. Twenty years of marriage works the same way: the hard times you’ve lived through together didn’t break you. They made you stronger.

How to spend the day
Have your anniversary breakfast on the good china, the set that’s been waiting years for a special occasion. Twenty years together is that occasion, and from tomorrow on, use it more often.
Tradition
Europe’s first hard-paste porcelain factory was founded in Meissen in 1710 by Augustus II the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Back then, porcelain was called “white gold.”
