Bisque porcelain or biscuit porcelain, takes its name from it's very first or initial firing, when the brittle porcelain might be snapped off like a biscuit.
Bisque porcelain is also widely identified as "biscuit ware", unglazed ware and additional popularly as "parian" ware. All bisque or parian porcelain is unglazed and in Victorian instances was admired for its sculptural qualities. The name "Parian" is in reality attributed to Thomas Minton, the renowned 19th century English potter, who coined the name Parian right after Paros, the Greek island that quarried very much of the pure white sculptural marble utilised in studios. Of course, the originator of porcelain was China, which includes unglazed white bisque porcelain, recognized to the Chinese potters as "Fan Ts'u".

At the finish of this decorating process, the form is then refired to fix the coloured enamels. If gilding is to be applied, the form is fired but again with each firing at a lower temperature than the last, the heat being gradually reduced. In the production of bisque porcelain, the porcelain is left in the white and unglazed.

Bisque, with a new creamy colour was revived in 1846 and once more at the close of the 19th century. It has a range of colours, from white to cream and was also known as "Parian", a reference to the white marble from the Greek island of Paros, much sought by sculptors.
