Is it the same as china? I just bought new dishes that say "fine bone china". I hope this isn't a dumb question - any info will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!
Not a dumb question, it's china made from bone ash. The bone is what gives the china its strength, its whiteness and its translucency.
In order to be called bone china, it has to comprise of at least 50% bone ash, and just in case you're wondering, the bone for the china comes from bovine.

"China Rose"
What does this mean on my tea cups (age/value)?
I collect china - antique, vintage, just about anything eye catching. I can't afford to buy expensive items, though, so mostly I look at flea markets, antiques fairs etc for something that I can swing.
I recently bought a pair of matching tea cups and I was wondering if anyone would have any useful information to date them. At the bottom it says:
Paragon
By Appointment To
H.M. The Queen & H.M. Queen Mary
Fine Bone China
England Regd.
I know that H.M. stands for Her Majesty, but I have no idea about anything else in relation to these cups. They're beautiful little cups, fairly small by today's standards. I would love any help in giving an approximate date or any other information you might have.
Thank you!
Your cups must date from 1937 to 1952. "The Queen" would be George VI's Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother. H.M. Queen Mary died in March 1953, and before 1936 she herself was the "The Queen".
They are most unlikely to have been made during the war. After it, quality articles like this were exported, but were not available on the home market until some prosperity returned about 1950.
