Ma Dao Cheng Gong 馬到成功 Horse Bone China Dinnerware Set – 16 to 60 Pieces
Ma Dao Cheng Gong 馬到成功 brings one of the best-known Chinese success motifs to the dining table. This coordinated bone china dinnerware series combines an ivory ground, decorative horse illustrations, multicolour border details and gold accents across bowls, plates, serving pieces, spoons and chopsticks. The result is ceremonial enough for gifting and celebrations, yet composed enough to style in a refined New Chinese dining room.
Available Set Sizes
Choose from 16-piece, 18-piece, 20-piece, 38-piece, 42-piece, 58-piece and two distinct 60-piece configurations. The two 60-piece supplier configurations are identified separately as Fugui Bao 富贵堡 and Gongting Bao 宫廷包, so customers can select the exact version rather than seeing two ambiguous “60-piece” options.

What Does “Ma Dao Cheng Gong” Mean?
馬到成功 / 马到成功 (mǎ dào chéng gōng) is a traditional Chinese phrase expressing the wish that success arrives swiftly. The horse imagery makes this dinnerware especially meaningful for milestone celebrations, business openings, promotions, graduations and gifts for people beginning a new chapter.
How to Style the Horse Dinnerware
New Chinese / 新中式 Dining Rooms
Pair the ivory porcelain and horse artwork with dark walnut, black timber, pale stone or a restrained lacquered surface. Keep the centrepiece low and architectural—a branch arrangement, bronze-toned object or simple ceramic vessel allows the illustrated tableware to remain the focal point.
European Classic & Eclectic Luxury
The warm gold details coordinate well with brass, crystal, cream linen and darker polished woods. If the room already contains decorative pattern, use plain napkins and glassware so the horse motif reads as intentional rather than busy.
Contemporary Interiors
Against a simple black, white or stone table, the illustrated porcelain becomes the colour accent. Use repeated place settings and generous spacing for a cleaner, gallery-like presentation.
Which Set Size Should I Choose?
The 16- to 20-piece sets are practical for smaller households, couples and gifting. The 38- and 42-piece configurations suit family dining and more varied serving needs. The 58- and 60-piece sets create a fuller entertaining collection for larger dining tables, festive gatherings and substantial presentation gifts.
Gift Ideas
This design is especially suitable for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, business openings, executive gifts, Lunar New Year entertaining, promotion gifts and family celebrations. The symbolic horse theme gives the set a stronger story than a purely decorative dinnerware gift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the horse motif the same theme across all configurations?
Yes. The configurations belong to the same Ma Dao Cheng Gong horse-themed dinnerware series, with the number and mix of pieces changing by selected set.
Does the 42-piece set include serving pieces?
Yes. Its photographed configuration includes a soup vessel, 12-inch fish platter, 10-inch flat plate and large serving spoon in addition to individual dining pieces.
Is this suitable for a wedding or business gift?
Yes. The horse theme is associated with wishes for rapid success, while the larger configurations create a substantial presentation for weddings, new homes, promotions and business milestones.
Can it work in a Western interior?
Yes. In a European or contemporary room, repeat the gold accent through flatware or lighting and keep surrounding textiles relatively plain. This lets the illustrated porcelain supply the decorative character.
How should I care for decorative gold-accent tableware?
Use gentle hand washing with a soft sponge and avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to help preserve decorative surfaces and gold detailing.
