They take the bones from dead people, (the people still alive won't part with theirs) then they grind the bones and add it to china clay, then make the pottery. That's why they call it Bone China. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not REAL bones, are they? andsome's link says Bone Ash. Is that different from dead 'living things' crushed bones?THIS is what Wiki says. But, it doesn't say whose bones are burnt. :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think they are from animals actually Irene. Horses and swine . They probably go down to the nearest slaughter house and get them then put them through a Crematorium process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
