Yes! Bone china is a type of porcelain body first developed in Britain in which calcined ox bone (bone ash) is a major constituent!. It is characterized by high whiteness, translucency and strength!. Production usually involves a two stage firing where the first, bisque, is without a glaze at 1280 °C (2336 °F), which gives a translucent product and then glaze, or glost, fired at a lower temperature below 1080 °C (1976 °F)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
