   It isn’t made *from* bone, it looks *like* bone.
   Quit harassing the Chinese.

   "bone" is just the color, china is ceramic, not bone

   Apparently "Bone China" was first developed in Britain (Not China)

   Bone china uses about 40 to 50% bone ash in its content to strenghten , whiten and lower the firing temp 100 to 200 degrees. It appears that some modern bone china is made with calcium carbonate rather than bones as a source..

   References list OX bone as a major source
