Bone china is made by adding more than 25% herbivore bone meal (the best of which is bovine bone meal) to pottery raw materials, and then firing three times: plain firing, glaze firing, and decal firing. Because of the addition of natural bone meal, bone china is milky white in color, warm and jade-like, and has good permeability. Bone meal and unique firing process make bone china highly regular, few blemishes, thin and hard, low water absorption and ceramic, easier to clean, and has a special visual sense of cleanliness.

Porcelain is generally made of kaolin, porcelain stone, etc., and is made through a special firing process. Pottery is made of clay fired at a low firing temperature. Pottery or porcelain are collectively referred to as ceramics, and it is more common to use ceramic dinnerware now. According to different firing temperatures, porcelain can be divided into high-temperature porcelain, medium-temperature porcelain, low-temperature porcelain, etc. According to different flower decoration techniques, it can be divided into over-glaze color, in-glaze color and under-glaze color. Underglaze color is the porcelain made by firing the floral pattern on the porcelain body and covering the glaze. The overglaze color is that the flower decoration is made on the glaze surface and fired. Porcelain does not have light transmission and is harder than bone china. Bone china is usually painted on glaze.

The above are the characteristics of bone china and ceramics. You can choose bone china or ceramics according to your own needs.
