Observe Appearance: High-quality bone china should be creamy white or milky white, with a glossy and flawless glaze.
Test Translucency: Place a cup over a light bulb to observe its translucency; those with strong translucency and a soft hue are superior.
Tap for Sound: Tap with a porcelain spoon or lightly flick the porcelain; those with a clear and ringing sound are preferred.
How to differentiate genuine bone china from fakes?
Check Color and Texture: Genuine bone china has a natural color and fine texture, while fakes may appear too white or dull with a rough texture.
Test Translucency: Genuine bone china exhibits good translucency; fakes may have poor or no translucency.
Know the Brand and Origin: Choosing bone china from reputable brands and official origins reduces the risk of purchasing fakes.
