Fine China is porcelaneous body that contains calcium carbonate. This gives the ware strength and whitens it. One difference between porcelain and fine china is the whiteness of fine china. True fine china is almost snow-white. Another is the translucence of fine china: holding it to a light with your hand behind the china should reveal the shadow of your hand. Porcelain will not do so. Fine china was invented in England in the late eighteenth century, and was apparently superior in strength, translucency, thinness, and whiteness to the porcelain then being produced in Europe. If you compare fine china with all other types of porcelain you will notice the difference immediately. The body of most porcelain has an off-white greyish cast, except for some American china which is ivory colored. True fine china is almost snow-white. fine china is far more expensive than porcelain as it has superior qualities mentioned above.
