Common questions about afternoon tea sets
Bone china contains at least 50% bone ash, making it stronger, warmer-toned and less prone to chipping than porcelain. It's ideal for regular use and heirloom pieces. Porcelain is more delicate but often lighter in weight and cheaper. For UK homes where durability matters, bone china from Wedgwood or Royal Doulton justifies the extra cost. Track prices across retailers to find bone china sets under £150—sales happen frequently.
