English bone china was traditionally made made by combining two parts of bone-ash and one part of China clay and one part of china stone. Antique Chinaware includes a variety of dinnerware sets, cutlery, glassware etc. Elegant and finely handcrafted Chinaware lined with gold polish was used by the aristocracy in the 18th century.
