Bone china can be placed in the microwave.
Bone china was invented by the British in 1794. It gets its name from the addition of bone meal from cattle, sheep and other herbivorous animals (preferably cattle bone meal) into its clay. The color of bone china is the unique natural milky white color of natural bone powder.
Generally speaking, porcelain containing 25% bone powder in raw materials can be called bone china. It is internationally recognized that the bone powder content is higher than 40%. The best bone china generally contains 45% high-quality beef bone powder. The bone powder composition is more than 40%, and the color of the utensils is more milky white, making it a high-grade bone china.
Bone china is made of exquisite materials, finely made, and strict standards. Its regularity, whiteness, transparency, thermal stability and other physical and chemical indicators are all very demanding. From the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century, porcelain had always been a Chinese patent. After the Industrial Revolution, modern Europe gradually formed its own porcelain-making technology through the development of Venetian glass craftsmanship. They not only imitated Chinese blue and white porcelain and colored porcelain, but also developed many high-quality porcelain varieties.
