About NARUMI bone china
What is Bone China？
Bone china was first developed in the 18th Century in England and later named bone china as it contains “bone ash” in addition to the main raw materials of porcelain.
It has established its reputation as the finest and most prestigious china and is used to make tableware for the world’s leading luxury hotels and restaurants.
The bone ash used in bone china today is calcium phosphate, a safe material also used in
toothpaste, baking powders, and supplements.
Why NARUMI’s Bone China？
- Warm white color and translucency
- Well-balanced form
- Unsurpassed luster and beautiful decoration colors
Warm white color and translucency
The high percentage of calcium phosphate incorporated in NARUMI’s bone china creates a distinctive whiteness and translucency. When you hold a piece of NARUMI bone china up to the light, you see the silhouette of your hand.
Well-balanced form
By using skillfully-designed firing tools, NARUMI’s bone china has excellent edge alignment when stacked. While bone china used to be said to be difficult to produce because of its large shrinkage rate in the firing process, NARUMI succeeded in mass production and
gained a patent in Japan in 1965.
Unsurpassed luster and beautiful decoration colors
NARUMI uses glaze specifically designed for bone china, which creates unsurpassed luster on the surface. This special glaze allows the color paints to sink into the china body, creating beautiful color patterns. As an environmentally-conscious brand, NARUMI began to mass produce lead-free glaze as early as in 1993 – the first manufacturer to do so in Japan.
