Bone China is porcelain that contains animal ash, mostly ox bone, The bone is burned and ground to a fine powder. This gives the ware strength and whitens it. The only difference between porcelain and bone china is the whiteness of bone china. Although I personally think porcelain is more durable and practical. Bone china is lighter and prettier.

Porcelain:
Fine, or hard-paste, porcelain consists of Kaolin, a type of clay, feldspar, and possibly other materials. It is fired at about 1400 degress C.
Bone China, on the other hand, is a mixture of this porcelain mixture and about 40 or 50 percent bone ash. The bone ash serves to whiten and slightly strengthen the porcelain, while reducing the necessary firing temperature by about 150-200 degrees C.

Since it is more durable it would be a little more resistant to breaking or chipping. Usually things that are "better" are also more expensive.
