This resulted in the production of neoclassical artwork in the Parian medium popularizing classical Greek and Roman works and themes at a price accessible to the growing middle class.

This is one example, an antique Victorian (late 19th C) white bisque Parian porcelain figure of a neoclassical woman at a well with a two-handled urn carved with a Greek key pattern, made in Britain. Measures 12 inches H x 7 W x 5 D.

She is a fine tabletop size--not too big or small. The figure has a lovely movement to her, as she leans and is about to pick up the weight of the jug. This version also features a necklace, which other similar renditions of the subject do not. Note the lovely details of the drapery she wears and the texture of the rock outcropping.

Clean with zero damage; typical wear due to being 100+ years old. less
