- Bone china is a type of
porcelain body in which calcined ox bone is a major constituent.
It is characterised by high whiteness, translucency and strength.
- It is stronger than
hard-paste porcelain and easier to manufacture.
- Its ivory white
appearance is created by adding bone ash to the ingredients for
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.
- Strength is provided by
the fusion of body ingredients during firing. This unique English
pottery body is made from the following: 50% animal bone, 25% china
clay, 25% china stone. First or biscuit firing 1200 C - 1300 C. Second
or glost firing 1050 C - 1100 C.
- Making bone china
involves several steps. The clays and bone ash must be mixed together
with water, then the slurry is formed into large cylinders that are
sliced and formed with plaster molds into dishes, bowls, cups and other
pieces. The pieces are taken from the molds, given a rough cleaning to
remove the excess clay and any lumps or other imperfections, then fired
in a kiln at about 2,300° Fahrenheit
- After being fired, the
pieces are polished, re-heated, glazed, then fired again to set the
glaze. Glazed pieces are then decorated, either by a machine or by hand.
They are then re-fired to set the decorations and inspected. Imperfect
pieces may be destroyed or sold as "seconds." The pieces are then
packaged and sent to retail stores.
- There are four main
processes involved in creating china: Clay making, Mold making, Glazing,
Decorating.
- Bone china comes in a
variety of designs, so the homeowner has an array of choices. Almost
every decor imaginable is applied to bone china. Some designs may
include flowers, fruit, geometric designs, lacy swirls, animals, or even
holiday motifs.
- The new bone china is
about 25 percent more expensive than the ordinary porcelain made here
while depending on the market the new product could be 25 to 30 percent
cheaper than genuine bone china.
