Bone china

Bone china is the strongest and highest quality porcelain. It contains a high percentage of bone ash, mostly derived from bovine bones, which contributes to the distinctive strength and lightness of the resulting porcelain. So this porcelain clay is very strong, can be fired at 1250°C (which is why it is called soft porcelain) and is also translucent.
