Parian porcelain, named after the marble from the Greek island of Paros, was developed as a substitute for the white marble portrait busts. Parian portrait busts provide a mantelpiece history of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This book talks about the invention, development and manufacture of Parian and places it in a historical perspective.
