Bone china was named for its unique composition, which includes bone ash, typically derived from animal bones, mixed with kaolin clay and feldspar. This ingredient gives bone china its characteristic translucency, strength, and whiteness. The term "china" reflects its origins in porcelain-making, which began in China, and the combination of these materials resulted in a high-quality ceramic that became popular in Europe and beyond.

What is the difference between fine bone China and China?

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.
