Porcelain is an ancient ceramic material perfected by the Chinese. There are examples of porcelain that date back to the 7th century. Porcelain is commonly called china, as this is where the material originated. There are three types of porcelain, hard paste, soft paste and bone china. In 1800, Josiah Spode II created bone china by adding bone ash to the formula for porcelain. The result was the hardest, most durable porcelain available. Hard paste porcelain is made from kaolin and petuntse. The materials are fired at high temperatures, with or without a glaze, and produce a hard, translucent material. Soft paste porcelain contains the kaolin and petuntse of hard paste but also includes frit - a combination of various materials like white sand, nitre, alum, salt and gypsum. The frit in the mixture liquefies and turns to glass when fired and the glassy bits fuse to the porcelain. The resulting soft paste porcelain has a grittier feel to it and is not as strong as hard paste porcelain. Bone china is the toughest of porcelains and does indeed contain bones. Bone ash makes up the greatest part of the formula for bone china, with the balance of the formula containing kaolin and petuntse. The resulting material is hard, resilient and an ivory white in color. It remains the standard for porcelain manufactured in England. Bone ash comes from the pulverized and burned bones of animals. All tissue is removed from the bones and they are fired at temperatures of up to 1000 degrees. The resulting ash is crushed to a powder and mixed with water before being added to the other porcelain material. http://www.essortment.com/all/bonechinaporce_rmbs.htm

How do we identify bone china glassware and porcelain glassware?
Identifying the difference between bone china glassware and porcelain glassware is useful for both home users and hospitality businesses. Although both are forms of ceramic, the materials, appearance, and feel make them easy to tell apart when you know what to look for. The first major difference is translucency. Bone china contains bone ash, giving it a light and delicate appearance. When you hold bone china against a bright light, you will notice that some light passes through it. Porcelain, on the other hand, is more solid and opaque. It does not allow light to shine through easily. This is often the simplest way to identify the two. Another clear difference is weight. Bone china is lighter and thinner, yet still strong due to the bone ash content. Porcelain is heavier, thicker, and feels more robust. People often recognize porcelain from its slightly cooler white tone, while bone china has a soft, creamy shade. You can also try the sound test. When tapped gently, bone china produces a long, bell-like ring. Porcelain creates a shorter and duller sound. This method has been used for years by collectors, hotels, and restaurants to quickly judge the material. Durability also varies. Bone china is chip-resistant but more delicate in everyday handling. Porcelain is tougher for regular use and offers more weight and stability, making it suitable for both home and commercial kitchens. For people buying kitchenware, this knowledge helps in choosing the right material for their needs. Many hospitality and retail suppliers—such as Bharat Glass and Crockeries, IKEA, Lifestyle Home Centre, and Pantaloon Home—usually carry both materials, and understanding the difference makes selection easier without turning it into promotional advice.
