Re: parian ware figural group
Parian ware became popular during the 1840's, it's a form of unglazed porcelain that resembles marble. This piece is based on late 19th century French bronzes and probably dates from the last quarter of the 19th century. Most of the unmarked examples are Continetal rather than English here is a link for you:
