«أَنْضَفْ مِنِ الصِّينِي بَعْدْ غَسِيلُهْ»

The proverb describes someone who has no money left. It conveys financial emptiness through the image of Chinese porcelain made spotless by washing.

It is figurative, not a comment on literal cleanliness. The reference is to porcelain as a traditional image, not to people or nationality; its clean appearance suggests that nothing at all remains.

Used of a person who is bankrupt or completely penniless. The apparently praise-like comparison to freshly washed porcelain humorously underscores total financial loss rather than actual neatness or cleanliness.
