In reality porcelain is a type of clay. It has a hotter melting temperature (or firing temperature than a clay like earthenware) is more durable and can be used on thinner pieces. It also has a translucency.
Now both china and porcelain have slightly different amounts and types of Kaolin.
From this site:
“China clay is kaolinised feldspar – they are highly valued for their whiteness, hence their use in bone china.

Pure kaolin is necessary for the manufacture of porcelain and other fine china; impure varieties are used in making pottery, stoneware, and bricks; as filler for pigments; and in the manufacture of paper.”

But they aren’t talking about the “pure porcelain” that you would be thinking of in dinner ware. They are talking about porcelain in more technical uses which would have to be much purer. So basically what I am saying is that a whole lot of people/companies have intermingled the terms. If the pieces are not stamped one material or the other, I generally call more translucent pieces porcelain, and ones that are thin white and a bit more ( a tiny bit more) chalky on the unglazed rim or foot china. China is not as valuable as porcelain and the difference is the type of clay used.
From your description “pearly inside”, could be from a glaze finish or an over glaze and have nothing to do with the type of clay that was used.

Antiques Bizarre $10.79 Spring has sprung a major leak in small town Serenity, as the Mississippi River drops in for an extended stay. With hundreds of homes and dozens of business flooded, how better to help the cozy town get back to normal than staging a city-wide church bazaar?Brandy Borne knows the outcome of her mother Vivian's plan, however, is more likely to lean toward bizarre, especially when she hears Mother wheedle a reclusive Russian heiress into donating a truly rare item: the last Faberge egg ever created! As private bidders and representatives from Christie's and Sotheby's go at each other, and local-theater diva Vivian barks her way into auctioneering infamy, Brandy tries her best to stay calm all this craziness can't be good for her pregnancy (did we mention she's surrogate mom for her best gal pal?). It's not so good for the winning bidder, either, who turns up mortally scrambled at the foot of a church-tower staircase…without the prized egg. Soon no one is safe, everyone's a suspect, and even the thought of food is sending the now Prozac-free mom-to-be sprinting for the nearest porcelain altar. It's going to take a little fuzzy therapy from Sushi Brandy's peppy Shih Tzu and a lot of Mother's charmingly, alarmingly meddlesome inquiries to track down this killer…who is one seriously bad egg!
