The Difference Between Porcelain And Bone China

The difference between bone china and white porcelain is one shape: in terms of shape, due to the process and raw materials, bone china is relatively thin, has a more rounded shape, and has better transparency. 

The difference between bone china and white porcelain is twofold: if the shapes of white porcelain and bone china are the same, white porcelain is slightly heavier while bone porcelain is lighter.

The difference between bone china and white porcelain lies in three colors: high-grade bone china is delicate and dense, with a smooth surface and bright glaze color, presenting a natural milky white color. The higher the content of bone meal, the stronger the milky white color. On the contrary, if the bone powder content is low, the yellow color of the bone china itself will be very obvious.

There are four tones that distinguish bone china from white porcelain: in terms of timbre, white porcelain is heavier and thicker. When two bowls collide, they make a "ding" sound with almost no echo. Two bowls of high-end bone china collided in my hand, producing a crisp and clear sound like a bell, with echoes.

The difference between bone china and white porcelain is pentavalent: due to material and manufacturing processes, bone china is expensive. A regular bowl costs tens of yuan, while white porcelain is usually cheaper. If it's too cheap, it's basically low bone or white porcelain.
