The International Exhibition: Thorneycroft's Skipping Girl, statuette in Parian, by Minton and Co. 1862. This figure measures no less 3ft. 10in. in height. The shrinking of ceramic statuary, parian, &c. from the firing and drying, presents a great difficulty, which has been overcome with remarkable skill in this figure. The reduced copy has all the symmetry and natural grace of the original...We understand that by improvements in the process and the material this figure has shrunk only one-eighth instead of the usual one-fourth. But this amount of contraction demands great care and experience in the manufacture...Parian, of its natural and true tinge, seems the exact mean for statuary porcelain...We must not conclude these remarks without expressing our admiration for the original statue of this figure - one of the most felicitous works of the accomplished lady Sculptor, Mrs. Thorneycroft [sic]...The exact period of adolescence is described in the slender torso and limbs, but more by no untruthful diminution of the head and extremities. Momentary action - always an enormous difficulty - is perfectly caught; the drapery is disposed with the strictest regard to keeping - that is to say, lending itself both to express the form and the movement'.
