Bone china is a type of soft-paste porcelain that is composed of bone ash, feldspathic material, and kaolin. It has been defined as ware with a translucent body containing a minimum of 30% of phosphate derived from animal bone and calculated calcium phosphate. Bone china is the strongest of the porcelain or china ceramics, having very high mechanical strength and chip resistance, and is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency. Its high strength allows it to be produced in thinner cross-sections than other types of porcelain. Like stoneware it is vitrified, but is translucent due to differing mineral properties.

Old Colonial Sterling China
Return of the Mayflower
Sugar Bowl with lid
What a beautiful jar!!! A great addition to any kitchen, and rare to find this piece with the lid intact. It is a large size for a sugar bowl; It stands about 6 1/2" tall with the lid on, and 7" wide. There are no chips or cracks, but there is crazing.
Sugar Bowl ''Return of the Mayflower'' on one side, 'The Plea of John Alden'' on the other.
