Parian wolfhound statue from Copeland porcelain. Parian is a creamy-white, slightly translucent porcelain, deliberately designed to look like the fine marble from the island of Paros which was used in classical times for important statues.

Verso of the piece is marked with the name "Copeland." Small hole drilled in porcelain about marking. Measures apprx 11" x 15."
