China Pottery

Bone China Pottery refers to the kind of porcelain that began to be manufactured in Staffordshire potteries by the end of the eighteenth century. In other words, it is porcelain with bone ash added to the animal as a stabilizer. Traditionally, the prescription is 3.5 part of kaolin clay or China, four parts china stone (later replaced by feldspar) and six parts bone ash. The output was higher, more translucent, porcelain like ivory.
