Bone China Dinnerware

A complete set of dinnerware typically includes dinner plates, salad plates (or side plates), soup bowls, dessert plates, cups, saucers, and may also include additional serving pieces like platters, serving bowls, and sometimes bread and butter plates depending on the set’s size and style. Bone china is a subset of porcelain, made with some portion of calcified bone ash. The molded dish is then, generally, fired twice—the first time between 1200℃ and 1300℃, and the second time between 1050℃ and 1100℃. This produces an extremely vitrified product that’s more translucent than porcelain and very durable. Bone china is incredibly heat resistant and effective at keeping food warm. Because of its heavy vitrification, it’s considered to be very hygienic since its low porosity will prevent it from absorbing liquids or odors. Like porcelain, bone china is also an aesthetically refined type of dishware and Dinnerware sets have a remarkable ability to lend an air of completeness to whatever event, meal, party, or occasion you’re hosting.
