English: Busts of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, 1862 Carlo Marochetti V&A Museum no. 7889-1862
Techniques - Parian porcelain Artist/designer - Minton & Co. Place Stoke-on-Trent, England Dimensions - Height 32 cm, Width 21.1 cm, Depth 14.5 cm, Object Type - Parian was a type of porcelain developed in the 1840s for use in statuary. It had similar surface qualities to marble, and was named after the Greek island of Paros, where marble was quarried. Parian was less prone to discoloration than unglazed bone china, which had previously been used to produce ceramic figures in imitation of marble. Parian figures and busts became very popular, making sculpture affordable for the middle classes. Numerous models were produced, depicting classical subjects or, as here, eminent individuals. Materials & Making - Credit for the invention of Parian was hotly contested. Both Minton, who produced these busts, and Copeland laid claim to the discovery of the formula. Because of this unresolved dispute, the jury of the Great Exhibition of 1851 failed to award a Council Medal for its invention. Nevertheless, the material enjoyed enormous success when it was shown there. Historical Associations - The original marble sculptures from which this Parian bust and its pair, a bust of Queen Victoria (museum no. 7889-1862), were copied were made by the Italian sculptor Carlo Marochetti (1805-1867) and were shown at the Royal Academy in 1851. These Parian versions were shown by Minton at the London International Exhibition of 1862, at which an entire section was devoted to 'Parian and Ivory'. |
