Collection: bone china tea set

A bone china tea set is crafted from a type of porcelain, a mixture of bone ash, feldspar, and kaolin clay. The addition of bone ash to the porcelain gives bone china its characteristic translucence, as well as its strength and durability.

Bone china tea sets are often considered traditional for formal afternoon English-style tea (having begun production in England in the 18th century), and to be of high quality, and are valued for their elegance and sophistication. They are typically decorated with intricate patterns or designs, and may feature gold or silver accents.

Bone china tea sets are often used for formal occasions, such as afternoon tea or special gatherings. They can also make a lovely addition to a home's decor, displayed on a shelf or in a cabinet.

When caring for a bone china tea set, it is important to handle it gently, as it can be delicate and prone to chipping or cracking. It is best to wash the pieces by hand with warm, soapy water and to avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Storing the tea set in a safe place, such as in a cabinet with protective padding or in a dedicated display case, can help to prevent damage and preserve its beauty for years to come.
