A parian doll is a type of antique doll made from unglazed porcelain, often referred to as "parian ware" due to its smooth, marble-like texture. These dolls became popular in the 19th century and were prized for their realistic facial features, which were molded with great detail. Parian dolls typically have a solid porcelain head and body, with painted eyes and features, but their hair is often made from human or synthetic fibers. They were often dressed in elaborate, fashionable clothing to reflect the styles of the time. Parian dolls are now collected as antiques and are admired for their craftsmanship and historical value.
