Brief History Bone China

England is renowned for its bone china and has been since it first became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Popular manufacturers included Spode, Wedgwood, Royal Albert, Royal Doulton and Minton. English bone china is made similarly to porcelain but with the addition of ground-up animal bones, hence the name "bone" china. Bone china chips less easily than hard-paste porcelain and is more hardwearing.

Material for Bone China

Bone china is made of 50% bone ash, & 25% each of china clay and china stone. It is combined with water to make slurry, which is then fashioned into cups, saucers, plates and so on. The pieces must be fired in a kiln at high degrees of heat (1100c to 1250c) for the china to become hard and strong. It is the bone, usually animal bone that gives the china its transparent whiteness. The bone is mixed with the finest china clays and highest quality Cornish stone. Specially skilled workers are needed in the manufacture of bone china, the best and most highly skilled in the world are found in the pottery district of England.
