If it says "bone china", then I'm probably going to have to assume that it's made from bone ash.

It looks like most of my cups are ok, but I have about 10 cup and saucer sets from Portmeiron that I'm probably going to have to assume are bone china. I bought them at Tuesday Morning because they reminded me of having coffee with my favorite aunt.

Coffee cups and mugs are the only thing I've ever collected. I've been trying to whittle down my collection because it's sort of ridiculous for one person to have so many cups and mugs. Looks like my collection will be decreased very soon. That's fine, I guess, because I've with this pandemic I've been reverting back to my minimalist ways.
