We have around 12-15 every shabbos (sometimes more) and we always use china. Guess who washes? Yup, I do it, and I survived. No, I don’t love doing it but it’s really not that bad. There is very nice disposable paper/plastic, but it isn’t the same. It also isn’t that cheap, btw. Besides, my mother would NEVER stand for it, and she’s not Hungarian.
