Just figured out that my (formerly) favorite cup isn't vegan [View all]

Last night I had a cup of herbal tea in this adorable cup with reindeer on it. I left it out so I could hand-wash it this morning, and as I was doing that I noticed that it's "bone china". I had never given "bone china" much thought.

Well, now I don't want to own it, let alone use it. Disappointing. Now I'm going to feel compelled to check every cup in my very large collection.
