Fine bone china
Fine Bone China (German: Fine Bone Porcelain) is a soft-paste porcelain and the further development of bone china .
Fine bone china has been the culmination of the Chinese art of porcelain production for centuries . It is characterized by a solid, brilliant white, transparent shard , which has a brilliant shine.
At the end of the 18th century, the Englishman Josiah Spode succeeded in reformulating the secret recipes and finally producing European bone china . In addition to the previously known basic materials kaolin , plastic clay , quartz and pegmatite , he used bone ash .
The invention of Spode allowed the industrial production of Fine Bone China from 1817, whereby the previous monopoly of China for these products could be lifted and replaced by equivalent European ones.
