Why bone china isn't your granny's china anymore! - Anders & White

Why bone china isn't your granny's china anymore!

Let’s get straight to the point: If you think all bone china is the same, it’s time to think again.

Traditional bone china was a breakthrough in its time, prized for its strength and beauty. But it had its drawbacks—outdated designs, delicate usability, and a reliance on animal bone ash for production.

Enter New Bone China, a modern evolution that’s taking dinnerware to a whole new level.


What Makes New Bone China Different?

1. Composition: Smarter Materials for Superior Performance

Traditional bone china contains up to 50% animal bone ash, which was used to enhance strength and create a unique translucent finish.
While effective, this method depended on ethically questionable materials and didn’t offer the best durability.

New Bone China, on the other hand, uses advanced natural minerals to replace bone ash.
These minerals are sourced and processed to achieve the same translucency, lightness, and beauty—without the ethical concerns.
The result?

  • Stronger Than Ever: The minerals used in New Bone China create a structure that’s even tougher and more chip-resistant than classic bone china.
  • Lightweight Yet Durable: Plates that feel elegant to hold but can withstand the rigors of daily life, from casual meals to high-heat dishwashers.
  • Chemical-Free: No lead, cadmium, or other harmful substances, making it a healthier choice for your family.

2. Modern Aesthetic: From Stuffy to Stunning

Classic bone china is often associated with delicate floral patterns, intricate borders, and fine details.
While beautiful in its day, these designs can feel outdated and impractical in contemporary homes.

New Bone China embraces minimalism and versatility.
Its clean lines and bright white finish create a sleek, modern look that complements any table setting.
Whether it’s a casual brunch or an elegant dinner, this updated style elevates every meal.

  • Neutral Design: No fussy patterns, just a simple, timeless aesthetic.
  • Showcases Food: The bright white surface highlights the vibrant colors and textures of your dishes, enhancing presentation.
  • Perfect for Any Occasion: From family breakfasts to formal dinner parties, it transitions effortlessly between settings.


New Bone China vs. Porcelain

Porcelain is often marketed as a durable option, but it pales in comparison to New Bone China:

  • Porcelain Is Heavy: New Bone China is lighter, making it easier to handle.
  • Porcelain Chips Easily: New Bone China is far more resistant to chipping and cracking.
  • Porcelain Lacks Elegance: It doesn’t have the same translucent beauty that makes New Bone China stand out.


Why Modern Looks Matter

We’re living in a time when dining isn’t just about food—it’s about the experience. Plates and bowls aren’t just functional—they’re part of the atmosphere you create for your family and guests.
New Bone China blends functionality and beauty, offering a modern upgrade that matches the pace and style of today’s homes.

This is dinnerware designed for the way we live now—stronger, sleeker, and more ethical.
