Pair of Parian Ware Figures of the Virgin Mary, by Petrus Regout
Petrus Regout (1801–1878), Maastricht.
The Netherlands, circa 1860.
A pair of identical Parian ware figures representing the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Grace, standing with outstretched arms and downward gaze, crushing the serpent beneath her feet. Modeled in white, unglazed porcelain to resemble marble, with finely detailed drapery and serene facial expressions. Each figure is signed P. Regout in relief to the base.

Note:
Parian ware, also known as statuary porcelain, was developed in England around 1845 to imitate the appearance of classical marble. It soon spread across Europe, including to Maastricht, where Petrus Regout’s factory produced religious and neoclassical figures for a Catholic clientele. This pair of Marian sculptures dates to circa 1860 and exemplifies the refined modeling and devotional aesthetic that characterised Parian ware at its height.
