Several processes are involved in the making of bone china, but the ingredient that sets it apart from fine china, is the component of bone ash that is included in its manufacture.
Hence where the name bone china comes from, and without this ash component, china is not really 'bone' china. It is also usually more expensive than other china, and this is justified by the processes and labour involved in its making.
A piece of bone china contains at least 25% of bone ash, and this compound not only adds strength and white color to the china, but also makes it translucent. Not totally transparent, but enough for the light to pass through it.

What is the difference between bone China and fine bone China?
Fine DinnerwareThe word, china, is commonly used as a generic name for all dinnerware but there are several different kinds. Most them are ceramic which are means they are made from clay.

This seals the plate & design and gives it its particular finish. Then the ware is fired again.Porcelain or Fine China Porcelain has been produced in the Orient since the earliest periods of civilization. It wasn't made in Europe until slightly over 200 years ago. The ware is called China in honor of those who first made it.The ultimate in dinnerware, china, is made from a combination of clays -kaolin, quartz, and feldspar. It is very hard and extremely durable. Fine china is vitrified which literally means glass like. It is fired in a kiln at a very high temperature so that it is non porous, hard and smooth. Fine china is translucent, which means that if you hold a dinner plate up to the light and pass your hand behind it, you will see your hand's shadow.Bone China is porcelain that contains animal ash, mostly ox bone, The bone is burned and ground to a fine powder. This gives the ware strength and whitens it. One difference between porcelain and bone china is the whiteness of bone china. Another is the translucence of bone china: holding it to a light with your hand behind the china should reveal the shadow of your hand. Porcelain will not do so.
