MemberFiance and I were debating between 2 different china sets. One is porcelain and the other is bone china.
Fiance likes the porcelain one more – and I’m thinking about giving up my favorite one… since he hates my choice and I’m ok with his. But – is there a big difference between these two materials??
MemberFrom my understanding Porcelain is a type of ceramic used for making dishes and things like that, Bone China is a type of Porcelain that contains bone ash
MemberBone china is made of real bone, making it thinner, more durable, and better quality. You can see the difference better if you hold up two plates against a light source. The bone china will be transluscent (you can see the light through it).
Memberin my experiance, bone china is much much less likely to chip
