Antique English Parian Ware Fox & Rabbit Dish, Victorian C1850

Add a dramatic focal point to your home with this rare antique Parian ware dish, England, circa 1850–1870. Expertly cast in matte white porcelain to emulate marble, it depicts a fox poised on a gnarled hollow log, under which a rabbit seeks refuge. The oval border is lavishly decorated with sculpted leaves, acorns and berries in high relief.

This piece captures the spirit of Pierre-Jules Mêne’s celebrated “Chasse au Lapin,” translated into ceramic form by leading Parian innovators Copeland or Minton. Parian ware was prized in Victorian interiors for its sculptural quality and affordability compared to marble.
