It was named after Paros, a Greek island renowned for its fine-textured, white marble of the same name. Invented by Thomas Battam Parian provided a lower cost alternative to carved marble.A notable advantage was that it could be prepared in a liquid form and cast in a mould - a quality lending itself to mass production. Parian ware was utilised mainly for busts and figurines, and occasionally for dishes and small vases, such as might be carved from marble. Several English factories claimed credit for its development.
