The International Exhibition: articles in Parian by W. H. Goss, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: articles in Parian by W. H. Goss, 1862. The Octagon Vase, Dessert-dish, Globe Vase. The dessert-dish consists of a tazza, supported by a group of caryatides, both of which are elaborately finished with chased gold and turquoise enamel, the drapery of the figures being sprinkled over with stars. The globe vase seems to us to be an object of peculiar interest, both on account of the exceeding beauty of its form and its apparent harmony with its use and mode of production. Clay is especially fitted for fabrication into forms of beauty by the agency of the potter's wheel, and by this mode of working forms which are infinitely more beautiful than those which can be got by casting or any other means are gained...the decoration of the vase is almost as consistent as its form, consisting of simple bands and festoons wrought in enamel jewels and chased gold. The other vase is of an octagonal form, yet the capacity and double funnel are well cared for, and the flowers on the panels are modelled with great tenderness and beauty, and are surrounded by rubies'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases three exquisite Parian ware vessels, as described in an article from the Illustrated London News in 1862 by W.H. Goss. The centerpiece is a dessert dish, featuring a tazza supported by a group of caryatides, both adorned with chased gold and turquoise enamel. The intricate drapery of the figures is further embellished with sprinkled stars, adding to the overall elegance of the piece. The second vessel is a globe vase, which Goss finds particularly intriguing due to its harmonious form and production method. He praises the clay's suitability for creating beautiful forms through the potter's wheel, resulting in shapes that surpass those achievable through casting or other means. The vase's decoration is equally impressive, with simple bands and festoons crafted in enamel jewels and chased gold. The third vessel is an octagonal vase, which manages to balance its unique shape with a thoughtful design. The capacity and double funnel are well considered, while the flowers on the panels are delicately modeled and surrounded by rubies. The combination of form and function is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Parian ware craftsmen during this period.
