Bone China Tea Cups: The Pride of England
When we say, “English bone china tea cup” we usually come into some associations that this certain kind of thing just like some of the common tea cups is made from porcelain. However, we actually come into certain consideration that why it is named as English bone china tea cup?
As we all know, a tea cup is a small cup with a handle that may be handled by the use of the thumb and one or two fingers. Typically, the tea cup is made of porcelain that is termed “china” for its origin. Accordingly, the English bone china tea cup was first introduced by Josiah Spode I who has a strong dedication and interest in pottery. Josiah Spode I became well known for his pottery factories that produced wonderful products and that include the English bone china tea cup.
For so many years, Josiah Spode I dedicate his life in pottery making, until he came a bright idea of making the English bone china tea cup. It is noted that at that time, prior to the invention of the English bone china tea cup, Josiah Spode I focused his attention to producing a whiter and stronger ware to match with the massive demand for European porcelains, and through that strong dedication, he arrived at the formula for making the English bone china tea cup in 1797.
It is amazing to know that the introduction of the English bone china tea cup create a huge impact on the pottery industry and consumers. Many pottery manufacturers chose to produce more English bone china tea cup for much greater return. The English bone china tea cup at that time became the most favored china ware not only in England but also in other parts of the world. The greater triumph that the English bone china tea cup achieved was due to the English bone china tea cup’s brilliant whiteness, strength, and delicate translucency.
The English bone china tea cup formula, in addition, has basically a percentage of calcium phosphate which is derived from ox bone. There Spode Company’s publications claimed that the English bone china tea cup contains in excess of 50% calcium phosphate derived from ox bone while the United Kingdom’s legal definition claimed that the English bone china tea cup only contains 30% of calcium phosphate.
The English bone china tea cup is actually considered as hybrid hard-paste porcelain that contains bone ash. It is also noted that the English bone china tea cup formula is composed of six parts of bone ash, four parts of china stone, and three and a half parts of china clay. The English bone china tea cup is also considered as a special variation of china ware with its bone ash from animals that are added to traditional porcelain ingredients. With those compositions, the English bone china tea cup is harder and more creamy-looking than the traditional European china ware.
So for the great quality of the English bone china tea cup, every English fine china producer now catered to the English bone china tea cup formula that Spode originally innovated. And to this day, the English bone china tea cup formula is always found in most of the English porcelains.
