Bone china is a type of porcelain that is composed of bone ash material and kaolin. It has been defined as ware with a translucent body containing a minimum of 30% of phosphate derived from animal bone and calculated calcium phosphate. Bone china is the strongest of the porcelain or china ceramics having very high mechanical and physical strength and chip resistance and is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency. Its high strength allows it to be produced in thinner cross-sections than other types of porcelain. Like stoneware, it is vitrified but is translucent due to differing mineral properties.

The production of bone china is similar to porcelain except that more care is needed because of its lower plasticity and a narrower vitrification range. The traditional formulation for bone china is about 25% kaolin, 25% Cornish stone and 50% bone ash. The bone ash that is used in bone china is made from cattle bones that have lower iron content. These bones are crushed and then calcined at up to 1250 °C to produce bone ash. The ash is milled to fine particle size. The kaolin component of the body is needed to give the body plasticity which allows articles to be shaped. This mixture is then fired at around 1200 °C. The raw materials for bone china are comparatively expensive and the production is labor-intensive which is why bone china maintains a luxury status and high pricing.

In more recent years production in China has expanded considerably and the country is now the biggest producer of bone china in the world. Other countries producing considerable amounts of bone china are Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
