Fine is simply an opinion as to quality, implying a high quality porcelain.

Porcelain is a ceramic notable for its fully vitrified impermeability ( even without glaze ), its pure white color and its translucency, strength and tone.


It is formed of Kaolin and other ingredients, from feldspar to Bone ash... and fired at higher temperatures than lesser forms of ceramic.
