To sum up, new china is not a type of fine bone china, so be careful when you choosing bone china products.

Why should you choose bone china products?

     Bone china products are getting more and more popular recently years, it happens for the following reasons.

• Beautiful appearance

     Bone china products’ texture: fine and smooth, transparent

     The shape:beautiful and elegant

     The surface:bright and various

• High grade

     Originated from England, bone china had long been dedicated to Royal and noble families.

     The only species recognized as the world’s high-grade porcelain

      A symbol of power and status, holding both use value and art value, known as the king of porcelain.

• Difficult craft

      Double firing, complex process, only produced in the United Kingdom, United States, China, Korea, Japan, Germany, Russia and Thailand.

• Processing difficulty

      In the firing process, its regularity, whiteness, transparency, thermal stability and other various factors like physical and chemical indicators are of very high demanding, thus rejection rate is very high and the end products are precious.

What’s the difference between bone china and porcelain? Here are 4 easy ways to find out:
(1) Estimate weight: When comparing the weight between porcelain and bone china, on the basis of the same shape, porcelain weight generally is slightly heavier, while bone china is lighter.
(2) View shape: Distinguish from the shape, due to the difference of technology and raw materials, bone china, comparing to porcelain, it’s the texture is thinner, and is more rounded and smooth, translucent better.
(3) Color: high-grade bone china is of delicate porcelain dense, smooth surface, bright glaze, giving the appearance of milky color, the higher the content of bone ash, the closer to milk-white, in contrast, if the content of bone ash is low, it’s yellow color is more obvious.
(4) Listening: Judging from the tone of clicking, porcelain is more of the sound of heavy thick, when two bowls collide, giving the sound of “ding”, basically no echo, however, if u put two high-grade bone china bowls on the flat of both hands and make it collide, it will give the sound of “clang” and echo, just like ringing a bell.

Don’t worry, as bone china is fired at high temperatures, it’s very firm,  this kind of collide will not cause damage. So you can use a little bit of force when conducting the experience.
