Questions About Fine China
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Real fine bone China can be extremely valuable. If it has a somewhat translucent quality when held up to a light it is real. If the piece is from a renowned manufacturer and is a rare piece, it can be even more valuable.
