Display your British wares with pride.
As the unrivalled Queen of porcelain - translucent, elegant and resilient.
Xavier China is dishwasher and microwave-safe - unless you go for gold...
Founded in 2019, Xavier China is here to revive the beauty of fine bone china for modern family living.
Mother and daughter, Nicky & Charlotte, founded Xavier China to bring a brilliant British invention back into kitchens and dining rooms. There is lots of beautiful pottery, earthenware and porcelain in the shops, but when they went to buy a new bone china dinner service for a new family home, they were stuck between a limited range of retailers and antique patterns.
Nicky and Charlotte's bone china tableware is all made to order in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Browse their collections today or call them to talk about bespoke bone china dinner services.
Bone china is not only the most elegant and translucent type of pottery, it is also the strongest and hardiest, which may explain why your grandmother’s wedding china is sitting in the cupboard.
The fact that bone china is more difficult to chip than other kinds of porcelain, makes it perfect for day-to-day living as well as special occasions.
We believe that this brilliant British invention deserves to be restored as the timeless queen of porcelain, adapted and restored for a new generation.
Everything at Xavier China is 100% British-made, using traditional methods in Stoke-on-Trent, England (aka ‘the Potteries’). Production methods have barely changed since the 1790s when bone china was first produced by Josiah Spode.
The recipe for ‘fine bone china’ contains at least 45% animal bone. It is this ingredient that gives bone china its particular strength and translucency when combined with Cornish clay and Geldspars.
Fine bone china dinner services may not be vegan, but they are very sustainable.
Bone china dinnerware is less easy to chip than other kinds of porcelain, and very strong despite it’s fragile beauty. In fact, your bone china dinner service will probably last multiple generations, and be reused again and again.
All Xavier China tableware pieces are made to order meaning there is zero waste, and the animal bone ash is a bi-product from local abattoirs, using something that would otherwise be wasted. Finally, all our products - including packaging - are produced, decorated and packed within a ten mile radius in Stoke-on-Trent.
