    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 ExpertApril 16, 2024

    Thomas Frye introduced bone china to England when he began producing pieces at his factory in Bow, East London in 1748.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Whether bone china or porcelain is better is a matter of personal opinion. Fired at a higher temperature, porcelain tends to have a more durable finish, but bone china is less likely to chip and crack. Some people prefer the weighty feel of porcelain. Others find the lighter quality of bone china to be preferable. Both bone china and porcelain can stand the test of time when finely crafted and properly cared for. Shop a wide range of porcelain and bone china tableware on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    Many different pieces of vintage china are worth money. Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today.

    "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material. Collectors often seek out early figurines manufactured by the likes of Dresden, Wedgwood and Meissen, while pieces that show off the characteristics of mid-century modern design, such as pieces designed by Raymond Loewy for Rosenthal, are also alluring to enthusiasts of porcelain.

    Generally, the age, maker, style, type and condition of a piece of china determines its value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can provide you with information on any pieces that you own. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage china.
