Is bone china really made out of bone?

7/22/99

Hello there!
I have a question for you.. Please help!

How do Royal Doulton make their Fine Bone China? Do they use
pig bones?

Thank you.    

After checking through our books and finding no information, we called Royal Doulton. 
Per Diane at Royal Doulton,bone china is made from ox bone.

To be bone china, it must be made from 50% bone.  The bone is what makes the pottery white.
