    A few things account for the difference between bone china and fine china. True bone china contains animal-derived bone ash, while fine china does not. The addition of the bone ash gives bone china a lighter, more delicate feel and a translucent appearance. Fine china, by comparison, is weightier and more opaque. Also, fine china tends to be more economically priced than bone. Explore a variety of china on 1stDibs.

    A set of china refers to a set of tableware.

A set of china is likely to include dinner plates, bread plates, cups and other items. Find antique and vintage china on 1stDibs.
