# #"Bone China: The Hidden Story | English Video

#"Bone China: The Hidden Story Behind Your Dinnerware" Bone china is often misunderstood as thin and precious porcelain, but its true composition is bone ash from cows or oxen. This exquisite, translucent material was first crafted in England as an alternative to costly Chinese porcelain. Thomas Fry pioneered its use in the 1740s, and soon major companies like Spode and Wedgwood followed suit, sourcing bones from slaughterhouses. India also embraced bone china production. Creating bone china involves several steps: bones are collected, cleaned of meat, incinerated at 1000°C, ground, mixed with additives and water, then molded into crockery and fired in ovens. Interestingly, bone china isn't explicitly labeled on many Indian crockery items, possibly due to concerns about vegetarian preferences.A simple test to determine bone china is holding it against light; if your fingers behind it are visible, it's bone china. This revelation is crucial because many animals, not raised for meat, are slaughtered for their bones, emphasizing the responsibility to choose alternatives and preserve animals' lives. Beautiful china dishes made before bone china's advent remain a sustainable choice for dining. Special Thanx to Mrs. Menka Gandhi for such eye opening Information about Bone China.
