The history of bone china

Bone china was first produced in England and was invented around 1800. The invention of bone china is quite comical. It started with Thomas Frye accidentally mixing animal bone meal in the manufacturing process, and then it was obtained by Josiah Spode (Josiah Spode). The earliest basic formula It is six parts bone meal and four parts porcelain stone, but it gradually developed into 50 parts bone meal, 25 parts porcelain stone and 25 parts clay. It is still regarded as the standard formula in the UK today. For more than two hundred years, bone china has gradually developed into a world ceramic treasure through the hands of generations of master craftsmen. The production of bone china started in the United Kingdom, but it is still unclear who made bone china first. At present, academic circles generally believe that the first Englishman who successfully produced bone china was Josiah Spode (Josiah Spode). (1755-1827). Josiah Spode directly mixed the calcined bones with china clay and mineral flux to become a traditional hard porcelain raw material, which was successfully tested in the early 19th century. Then he began to conduct systematic research on the formulation of bone china. At the end of 1821, the ratio of bone ashes to porcelain white porcelin dinnerware stone was 'standardized'. At that time, it was believed that the porcelain produced by using feldspar as a flux and containing 46% of the ashes was the best. Good product. After a long period of exploration, in 1756, an Englishman added bone meal ground from animal bones to the kaolin used for firing porcelain, and unexpectedly burned porcelain that was as fat as jade. Because bone meal can increase the hardness and light transmittance of porcelain white porcelin dinnerware, and its strength is higher than that of ordinary porcelain, it can be thinner, more transparent and whiter than ordinary porcelain. Thus was born a new type of porcelain, bone china. The emergence of bone china has made a qualitative leap in the quality of British chinaware ceramic, meeting the requirements of British consumers for not only high strength but also elegant and beautiful porcelain. Therefore, bone china has attracted great attention as soon as it is produced. The production process formula was imitated and spread by industry insiders. The Longton region of the United Kingdom became the first bone china production base. At that time, production workshops trying to produce bone china sprung up. John Doulton became one of the most famous representatives of bone china production. About 190 years ago, he ran a workshop that could only produce rough pottery. After his death, his son Henry inherited his father's business and showed outstanding performance in product reform and innovation in the porcelain industry. In 1877, Henry, known as the 'Great PotterMeritorious service. In 1901, he was again commended by King Edward VII of England and was awarded the 'Royal Queen' trademark, becoming a brand of high-quality bone china that the world has agreed upon. In 1966, Henry, who was full of innovation, won the 'Queen of England Innovative Industrial Technology' award again. It embarked on the pinnacle of porcelain art career and won a huge reputation for it. ROYAL DOULTON, or Royal Dalton, has gradually become the largest exporter of bone china in the UK.
