The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Parian ware is a type of unglazed porcelain developed in the 1840s, named after Paros, the Greek island famed for white marble. It was created to imitate carved marble statues at a larger production scale during the Victorian era.

Parian figures were produced by casting liquid slip into plaster moulds, allowing intricate details to be captured. The high feldspar content in the ceramic body gave the fired material a marble-like sheen without requiring a surface glaze.

Authentic 19th-century Parian ware features a silky, translucent surface finish resembling white marble with clear detail in the drapery and features. Look for impressed maker marks or registration marks along the base, along with a light-transmitting quality when held to light.

These white monochrome sculptures work well displayed on a fireplace mantelpiece, styled atop books on a bookshelf, or placed on a console table alongside contrasting dark wood accents.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a mild soap applied gently using a soft cotton swab, avoiding immersion or abrasive sponges that could mark the porous surface.
