Difference's between bone china, porcelain, stoneware and earthenware...
Bone China is made from a mixture of bone ash and highly refined clay and is typically fired at over 2200° F. It is pure white or cream and translucent.
Porcelain is made from highly refined white clay and can be fired at over 2300° F. It is often translucent and non-porous. Porcelain tends to be thinner and lighter than stoneware with a more delicate appearance.
Stoneware is a hard, durable ceramic made of light colored clay typically fired at over 2200° F. It is opaque and porous. Stoneware dinnerware tends to be thicker and heavier than porcelain or china. It can be glazed in a wide variety of colors and finishes (matte, satin, and shiny) for diverse designs.
Earthenware is made from a mixture of clay and sand and is usually fired at temperatures near 2100° F. Earthenware is opaque and porous and tends to be less resistant to chipping than stoneware. Earthenware is an ideal medium for hand-painted and embossed designs. The lower firing temperatures allow for more intense color than would be possible with other types of ceramics. Ironstone is a heavier, stronger type of earthenware.

Gray lines on your dishes?
Some stoneware owners notice gray marks or "scratches" on their dinnerware. This is not a defect. These marks can occur when metal utensils come into contact with the hard glazes typically used by most stoneware manufacturers.
Stoneware glazes look and feel very smooth; however, the surface is composed of microscopic peaks and valleys. When metal utensils, which are often softer than the glaze, contact the stoneware, tiny metal particles become caught in the microscopic valleys.
Though some users characterize the gray marks as scratches, usually there is no damage to the glaze or the stoneware body. The metal deposits can be removed with a variety of cleansers, including Zud, Bar Keepers Friend and or a combination of warm water, baking soda and some elbow grease.
Do not use bleach or you'll ruin the plate/ glaze in short order!
