Is bone china still made from bones?

1 Answer
Is bone china still made from bones?
Whether bone china is still made from bones varies from maker to maker. Many manufacturers continue to produce bone china out of the traditional blend of china stone, china clay and animal bone ash. However, others have switched to synthetic bone ash for producing all or some of their pieces. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of bone china.
