FAQs

Parian porcelain is a form of unglazed ceramic developed in Staffordshire around 1840, formulated to imitate carved Classical Parian marble.

Parian pieces were produced by casting liquid slip into multi-part plaster moulds, resulting in high surface detail that was fired without a glaze to achieve a matte finish.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature detailed casting, a silky semi-matte surface texture, smooth underside foot rims, and frequently carry impressed maker or sculptor marks near the base.

Position the sculpture against dark or painted backdrops on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table to highlight its pale tone and defined outline.

Dust regularly with a soft dry brush, and remove ingrained dirt using lukewarm water and a mild detergent while avoiding abrasive sponges or submersion.
