Antique 1800’s Parian Ware Vase RARE

Parian ware vase, a type of bisque porcelain designed to imitate carved marble.
Material: Parian ware is an unglazed, white bisque porcelain, often with a slightly granular surface resembling marble from the Greek island of Paros.
Historical Context: Developed around 1845 in England, it was initially marketed as "Statuary Porcelain" and became popular for busts and figures, enabling mass production due to its castability.
Characteristics: It has a higher proportion of feldspar than traditional porcelain, resulting in a more vitrified body with a smoother, marble-like texture and an ivory-like color.
Decoration: While typically left in its natural creamy white state, some pieces feature background colors, often shades of blue, to highlight relief ornamentation.
Collecting: Parian ware is a collectible antique, with various figures and objects available from different manufacturers like Mintons, Copeland, and Wedgwood.
