It has a rustic, earthy appearance and excellent heat retention. Most commercial restaurant dinnerware is stoneware due to its durability and value.<\/p>\n<h2>Porcelain<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain is fired at even higher temperatures (1300-1400\u00b0C), creating a non-porous, translucent body. It has a refined appearance and is suitable for upscale dining. Porcelain is more expensive than stoneware but offers superior whiteness and durability.<\/p>\n<h2>Bone China<\/h2>\n<p>Bone china contains bone ash (typically 30-50%), giving it exceptional whiteness and translucency. It&#8217;s the most expensive option and is lighter than both stoneware and porcelain.
