Artistic porcelain
Starting from the technical concepts and stylistics of the Capodimonte porcelain school, respecting the tradition of the artisan workshop and with meticulous research on 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 detail and giving each face its own expression.
These figurines of children represent the world of children with its purity and naivety, a more modern and contemporary representation like their particular expressiveness.

Capricorn is methodical and tenacious, which is why its torso is stretched forward, while the limbs recall the iconography of the sign, with the tail to the side and the paw ready to take the step. Its colors are black and dark green, visible in the eyes, in the hair and on the dress, underlined by a very strong print, as for the other signs of the Earth element. Finally, the base is also green, with the sign symbol marked on the side.

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 divided into several parts and a mold is obtained from each one.
THE SHAPING
Porcelain is a blend of kaolin, feldspar, quartz and water. The "casting" that is poured into the mould.
FINISHING AND ASSEMBLY
Removed from the molds the pieces dThey need to 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 value of craftsmanship are applied.
THE SHEETS
Here is what we believe to be one of the elements that most characterizes us.
By studying the characteristics of the materials, we have created thin sheets, created with a special tulle dipped in porcelain. Then we developed a method that allows us to impress decorative motifs typical of fabrics on these.
The sheets thus decorated and still in a plastic state are cut according to the desired shape to "dress" the figurines.
These sheets placed in the kiln transform from fabric into porcelain, so our porcelain pieces look like they were made with real fabric.
The hair is fine strands of porcelain that are "combed" over the bare head from time to time.
These processing phases are very delicate because any mistake causes defects in cooking and extreme attention is required in handling the sheets without damaging the decorations.
COOKING
Each piece is dried and is further finished dry to remove any defects.
While cooking at 1300°C, the porcelain body comes close to its melting point.
DECORATION
After cooking "over a high heat", the bisque is cleaned and sometimes smoothed and decorated.
According to the so-called “di Capodimonte” technique.
Finally there is the color firing, or "third fire"
