Artistic porcelain

Starting from the technical concepts  and stylistic features of the Capodimonte porcelain school, respecting the tradition of the artisan workshop and with meticulous research into materials for continuous product innovation, these enchanting figurines are born.

The entire creation process takes place in Vicenza, Italy, where expert craftsmen, model makers and painters they take care of the pieces, finishing each statue down to the smallest details and giving each face its own expression.

These children's figurines represent the childish world with its purity and naivety, a more modern and contemporary representation like their particular expressiveness.

Collectibles or gift items, but also particularly valuable wedding favors:

The emotions they convey can easily convey a thought, a message to 

whoever wants make a precious gift, but it can also be a furnishing object.

Production phases.

SCULPTURE
Starting from a block of clay that is modeled until that face, that expression is obtained of the object that you want to represent.

THE MOLDS
The sculpture is cut into several parts and a mold is made from each one.

THE MOLDING
Porcelain is a mixture of kaolin, feldspar, quartz and water. The “casting” that is poured into the mold.

FINISHING AND ASSEMBLY

Removed the pieces d from the moldsthey must be “smudged” and “refreshed”.

The figure is recomposed by assembling the various components. 

Finally, all those details that need to be made by hand and which are the merit of craftsmanship are applied.

THE PASTRY

Here comes what we believe to be one of the elements that most characterizes us.

By studying the characteristics of the materials we created thin sheets, created with a special tulle immersed in porcelain. Then we developed a method that allows us to imprint decorative motifs typical of fabrics on these.

The sheets thus decorated and still in a plastic state are cut into the desired shape to "dress" the figurines.

These sheets placed in the oven transform from fabric into porcelain, so our porcelain pieces look like they are made with real fabric.

The hair is thin porcelain threads that are "combed" from time to time on the bare head.

These processing phases are very delicate because every error causes defects in cooking and extreme care is required when handling the sheets without damaging their decorations.

COOKING
Each piece is dried and further dry finished to remove any defects. 

While cooking at 1300°C, the porcelain mixture reaches its melting point.

DECORATION
After "high heat" cooking, the bisque is cleaned and sometimes smoothed and decorated. 

According to the so-called “Capodimonte” technique.

Finally there is the cooking of the color, or "third fire"

QUALITY CHECK

Finally, any details such as bag straps or violin strings are added, cold applied to the finished piece.

The pieces are carefully checked one last time.

Every object produced by Sibania is absolutely unique. 

Both in the creation of every single piece. 

Both in the technique of production that has no equal and makes it inimitable.
