Sterling silver, patina, Parian bisque porcelain.
Parian porcelain was developed around 1845 by the Staffordshire ceramics manufacturer Mintons and named after Paros, a Greek island celebrated for its white marble used in ancient sculpture. This translucent porcelain is known for its marble-like texture, warm tone, and smooth, silky surface, allowing for exquisite detail.
