Bone China porcelain
Bone China is a particularly durable and high-quality porcelain made from kaolin, feldspar and quartz combined with at least 35% bone ash. This gives the porcelain its special ivory hue and durability. The porcelain is fired at a temperature of around 1250°C.

Moon phases
The moon orbits the Earth in a cycle of approximately 29 days, and this cycle includes four phases: new moon, waxing moon, full moon, and waning moon.

• A new moon is the moment when the moon is not visible from Earth, and it begins a new lunar cycle.
• A waxing moon is a phase in which the part of the moon illuminated by the sun gradually increases in size.
• A full moon is a phase when the sun illuminates the entire Earth-facing side of the moon. This happens once a month.
• A waning moon is a phase in which the illuminated part of the moon becomes smaller day by day.

The influence of the moon on life
The moon influences life on Earth in many ways, such as the formation of tides. The flow of energy in the body also often follows the rhythm of the moon. Many nature religions and spiritual traditions utilize the effects of the lunar cycle. For example, the new moon is a good time to start something new, and during the waxing moon, energy increases, making it a good time to start new projects. After the full moon, energy decreases, making it a good time to reduce harmful habits.

Adapting to the rhythm of the moon's phases can support a balanced and harmonious life.
