Description

A fine and rare pair of Royal Worcester Parian figures, model 5585 “Le Miroir” and model 5588 “Le Panier,” both exquisitely modelled by Italian sculptor Antonio Azori in 1966. Executed in crisp white bisque, the woman adjusts her hair before a hand mirror while the gentleman offers a single bloom, a basket of flowers resting in his lap. Each figure sits upon a cylindrical pedestal with square plinth, exemplifying the classical charm, balanced composition, and refined detailing characteristic of Royal Worcester’s mid-century Parian porcelain.

Both pieces bear the factory’s stamped mark, impressed shape numbers, model titles, and the inscription “Modelled by A. Azori,” confirming their provenance. Azori’s limited author series for Worcester in the mid-1960s revived 19th-century Parian traditions—once the province of bespoke commissions for the Art Union of London—now in exceptionally small editions. Auction records attest to their scarcity and high market value.

Male figure 31 × 18 × 13.5 cm, 844 g; female figure 30 × 16 × 13.5 cm, 717 g. Both in excellent condition—no cracks, chips or restoration; virtually perfect.

Shipped fully tracked and insured.

Shipping cost includes labour, packaging, and postage.

Parian ware is a type of bisquit porcelain developed in the 1840s by British potteries, designed to imitate carved marble for affordable decorative sculptures.

Parian porcelain is made from a fine feldspathic porcelain body that is slip-cast in moulds and fired at high temperatures to achieve a matte, unglazed finish resembling marble.

Authentic pieces typically feature crisp moulding detail, heavy weight, an unglazed marble-like texture, and often carry manufacturer stamps, registry marks, or artist signatures on the base.

These sculptural objects pair well with minimalist furniture or traditional sideboards, where their monochromatic matte finish provides classic texture and understated elegance.

Parian ware should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush. For deeper cleaning, lukewarm water and a mild detergent can be used with extreme care, avoiding abrasive materials on the unglazed surface.
