parian

Refers to a variety of soft or hard paste, white, fine, vitreous porcelain often resembling statuary marble, developed in England in the 1840s and used for figurines, especially dolls, and for art objects, ornament, and tableware. For unglazed porcelain or earthenware that has been fired only once and used for similar types of objects, but producing a grainy texture, use "biscuit."
