Elegant porcelain Rapunzel figurine - Sibania

Porcelain figurine of Rapunzel. She is wearing a simple pink dress with tulle inserts and a long red jacket with large gold edges. Her hair is braided into a plait, which she likes to hold over her shoulder. She stands in front of the window, smiling joyfully as she watches her prince exit the forest and approach the tower where she is imprisoned, ready to finally free her and escape from the witch's clutches.

Every item produced by Sibania is absolutely unique both in terms of craftsmanship of each piece and the technique used, which is unrivaled and difficult to imitate. These items are entirely modeled and hand-painted in our laboratory in Vicenza (Italy). The clothing consists of thin porcelain sheets with printed textures. These sheets are cut according to the dress pattern and then patiently applied to the statue's torso. Hairstyles are also sometimes handcrafted. On the "biscuit" terracotta, faces, clothing, and accessories are painted with non-toxic colors; the piece is finally subjected to further firing called "third fire." Any additional details, such as violin strings or stands, are added at this stage to the finished piece.

The highest quality porcelain combined with manual work and exceptional designs makes Sibania a synonym for the brand. It is a tribute to true craftsmanship, human dexterity, and the times when handmade was a valued product. Beautiful porcelain dolls are their hallmark, recognized worldwide. Sibania is an Italian company based in Vicenza. Italian craftsmanship and workshop traditions form the foundation of the company's ongoing research into materials and production techniques.  

From porcelain paste to production, the entire process is developed in workshops in Isola Vicentina, where skilled artisans, designers, and painters meticulously refine each figurine and give each face its own expression. Inspired by the stylistic and technical features of traditional craftsmanship of the so-called Capodimonte porcelain, Sibania has been producing porcelain since 1980. Building on this tradition, characterized by exceptional manual skills, the company strives to introduce continuous innovations while maintaining handmade craftsmanship and Italian artisanry as a point of reference.

The brand places great importance on the evolving tradition of the artisan workshop, with precise material research, and one of their goals is continuous product innovation with respect for human health: using only non-toxic materials free from lead, cadmium, and other harmful compounds. After experience with Capodimonte porcelain, it can be proudly said that since the mid-1980s, Sibania has been a leading company in the production of porcelain dolls. Indeed, since the 1980s, production has been based on its own biscuit component models for major artisan workshops and porcelain doll companies in Italy. In 1998, the company began producing figurines, small sculptures mainly depicting children. On one hand, they continuously remember the productive finishing and decorative techniques learned during Capodimonte experiences, and on the other, they introduce new stylistic and technical methods. The unique and specific techniques used by Sibania, as well as the widespread use of manual skills, allow us to say that their works are truly one-of-a-kind.

These exceptional figurines aim to represent the world, the world of childhood, full of emotions and evoking feelings in those who encounter them; believing that the purity of porcelain makes it the most suitable material for artistic portrayals of childhood innocence and purity. To realize these sculptures, traditional techniques serve as a starting point for a more innovative and contemporary presentation, as the company's work expresses a distinctive modern and current style. These figurines are collectible items, but their expressive power can easily convey care or messages, making them occasionally very meaningful gifts.
