I don’t know if this is likely to be of any interest but there is a parian ware version of Vénus à la coquille in Mary Cruz Antiques, Broad Street, Bath. It is the one where the shell is flanked by dolphins and it is on an added base, c.35 mm high, decorated with a frieze of plants and dolphins. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a cast maker’s mark and I don’t know whence she acquired it.

Thanks for this information which, indeed, is of interest. Below is a photo of another parian version, also with the two dolphins, which was sold on ebay on 18 July 2005, as announced in the Ventes aux enchères 2005 section of this website. I don't recall having seen any others in parian.
