Parian ware was derived from unglazed white porcelain made in France. It became hugely popular amongst the Victorian people. Christopher Webber Fenton and his brother-in-law, Julius Norton, first made Parian in America at their pottery studio in Bennington, Vermont. Bennington had been a center for the production of utilitarian salt-glazed stoneware since the early part of the century. This vase, featuring a tapered neck, is accented by delicate grapes and grapevines. Upper section has been painted with a lovely periwinkle blue. This vase also has a floral neck, decorative base and twig-like handles. Measures apprx 8-1/4" x 5".
