Hello, looking at replacing Corelle plates with bone China. My understanding is the biggest measure of quality is percent bone ash (a higher percent allows for thinner, lighter and stronger plates and more translucence). US minimum is 25%, China 30% and UK 50%.
Most brands do not list their bone ash percent.
I am guessing if I want to spend a fortune wedgwood is likely high percent and the Costco brand which is a very good price is low bone ash percent.
Can anyone suggest middle ground brands that are likely higher bone ash percent?

I've been using Royal Copenhagen china since we received it as a wedding gift over 10 years ago. I don't know the bone ash percent but there have only been a few small chips and one broken cup despite daily use including two young boys.
The blue fluted half lace pattern is over 100 years old, and old pieces in good condition are easy to find.
