About This Item
2007 hardcover as pictured. Parian was a high-quality, unglazed porcelain developed in the early 1840s by Copeland & Garrett. Its purpose was to provide small sculptures for the public at a time when full size marble statues were gracing the homes of wealthy people. This is a handsome book describing the manufacturing processes of mould-making and the casting of the figures. Also included is a comprehensive catalogue of Copeland's productions of statuettes, groups and portrait busts. Binding is firm. Blue cloth boards with gold stamping show minimal shelf wear. Pictorial endpapers. Text appears clean and unmarked. Includes many color and b&w photographs, glossary, bibliography and index. Dust jacket shows light shelf wear. Your purchase helps support our small village library. s OD3
