Charming Parian Ware Grouping of a Young Girl and Child – 19th Century
Figurines, PorcelainsA lovely 19th-century Parian ware grouping featuring a serene young girl gracefully balancing a large ewer on her head, while a child stands by her side, reaching affectionately toward her hip. This tender and well-composed scene is beautifully modeled with fine detail and classical poise.
Parian ware, developed in England in the early 1840s, is an unglazed bisque porcelain created to imitate the smooth, white marble of ancient Greece—particularly that from the island of Paros. Its marble-like finish made it ideal for producing affordable, small-scale versions of famous sculptures and figural works for the Victorian home.
This piece is a fine example of that tradition, capturing a timeless, neoclassical aesthetic in miniature.
Measures: 18 1/4 inches high x 7 inches wide.
