Parian ware is an unglazed porcelain body that was appreciated for its resemblance to white marble. It was developed in England in the 1840s, and it quickly became popular for the reproduction of works evoking classical antiquity, as well as for busts of contemporary figures and for small-scale sentimental sculptures such as this figure. These works could be produced at relatively low cost, making them available to England’s growing middle class.
