It's purpose was to provide small sculpturers for the public at a time when full size marble statues were gracing the homes of wealthy people. Exmaples exhibited at the 1851 great Exhibition stimulated the demand initiated by the Art Union of London in 1845 and promoted further in the next forty years by other Art Unions. The debate in the Stafforshire Advertiser columns as to which firm was the frist to introduce parian is examined and commented upon.
