What is Fine Bone China?<\/h2>\n

Fine Bone China (FBC) is a type of chinaware. Please note that chinaware did not originate in China, it’s merely the name given to fine and ornamental ceramic tableware. Like its name suggests, traditional Fine Bone China has bone components. To be more specific, it is a type of porcelain composed of bone ash, feldspathic material, quartz and kaolin (a white clay).<\/p>\n

On average FBC pieces contain around 40% to 50% bone ash, with a minimum of 25%. In fact, it is this bone component that gives FBC its milky-white colour and translucency. If you want to differentiate between normal china and FBC you should hold the piece towards the light, if light passes through it then you are holding FBC. Otherwise, you can test it by placing your hand behind the piece of china, if you see your hand\u2019s silhouette then its real Fine Bone China.<\/p>\n

New Fine Bone China, the cruelty-free alternative<\/h2>\n

In attempts to lessen animal cruelty and produce a more ethical substitute, the FBC industry has created New Fine Bone China also called New Bone China or New Fine China. In New Fine Bone China, the bone ash is replaced with other ingredients. Hence, it has all the previous ingredients but no animal bones.<\/p>\n

New Fine Bone China is a kind of white porcelain that is made similar to the appearance of Fine Bone China by adding calcium oxide (instead of bone ash). Its components and firing temperatures make New Fine Bone China finer, whiter and more durable than normal porcelain.<\/p>\n
