parian ware
Parian is a type of bisque porcelain. It was named, by Minton, after Paros, a Greek island renowned for its fine-textured, white marble of the same name. It was also contemporaneously referred to as ''Statuary Porcelain'' by Copeland. Parian was essentially designed to imitate carved marble,〔(Information on Parian ) (Stoke Museums)〕 with the great advantage that it could be prepared in a liquid form and cast in a mould, enabling mass production.
==Invention==
The early history of the invention of Parian was confused at the time, with several firms producing biscuit, working concurrently to produce an improved material, claiming credit. The first to claim its invention was Thomas Battam, manager of the art department at the Copeland Factory, who gave it the title 'Statuary Porcelain'. In 1842 Copeland produced some models, purchased by the Duke of Sutherland, the finish of which closely imitated some marbles in his collection. Batteman's material however was thought to be a version of stoneware.〔Paul Atterbury, Maureen Batkin, Martin Greenwood, Benedict Read, Dr Roger Smith, Dr Philip Ward-Jackson and G D V Glynn, FSA Scot. ''The Parian Phenomenon: A Survey of Victorian Parian Porcelain Statuary & Busts'' (Richard Dennis, 1989)〕 The most likely date for the invention of Parian is 1845 when Minton produced trials, with versions on sale in June 1845. The judges at the Great Exhibition were undecided as to whom the first inventor was";〔
"... the Jury find that they could not recommend an award of the Council Medal for the invention of Parian without deciding on the disputed claim of priority between the very eminent firms, who severally advanced that claim with equal confidence. We have not felt it our duty to come to any such decision; especially as it would appear from the statement of each party that, whichever may have actually been first in publicly producing articles in this material both were contemporaneously working with success towards the same result."
