catering crockery OR china

I think this would work OK for BE, though I suspect it's AE you're looking for?

'crockery' does have a slightly old-fashioned air about it, but 'china' is often used as a generic term equivalent to 'vaiselle' and without any specific connotation that it is fine bone china, porcelain etc.

assuming vaisselle here is used in the broadest sense and includes all tableware (ie utensils (knives, forks, spoons etc.), not just dishes or crockery (BE in this sense). if you check \'tableware\' in an En-Fr dico, you\'ll see it translates as \'vaisselle\'. after all, not just \'dishes\' get washed.... :-)
