Porcelain figurine of a woman - zodiac sign Pisces - Sibania

Fish are the most emotional sign of the zodiac, so this figure sits with her knees drawn up in an almost defensive posture, but with her eyes looking upward, towards the future or dreams. Her extraordinary and asymmetrical dress represents the sign's imagination; the print is soft, but the overall look is typical. Layers of tulle, a common feature for all Water signs in this collection, follow the draping of the skirt and emphasize the sign's duality: a larger leaf contrasts with two smaller ones, at the front and back, like the head and fins of a fish. Her hair, tied to the side, opens into two regular curls on the shoulder, reminiscent of the iconography of Fish.

The colors of the sign are purple and light blue, contrasting with the nuances in the two parts of the bra, which can be found again in the texture of the skirt and the shades of tulle. Her hair is black, like all winter signs, and her violet eyes resemble the color of the Water element, also visible at the roots. The symbol of Pisces is displayed on the bra, composed of two asymmetrical circular parts connected by a central tulle band.

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

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

From porcelain paste to production, the entire process is developed entirely 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 Capodimonte porcelain craftsmanship, 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 handcrafted techniques and Italian craftsmanship as a reference point.

The brand places great importance on the evolving tradition of the artisan workshop, with detailed research into materials, and one of their goals is continuous product innovation with respect for human health: using only non-toxic, lead-free, cadmium-free, and other hazardous substances. Based on experience with Capodimonte porcelain, it can be proudly stated 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 proprietary bisque component models for the most important artisan workshops and doll-making companies in Italy. In 1998, the company began producing figurines, small sculptures mainly depicting children. On one hand, constantly remembering the productive finishing and decorating techniques learned during Capodimonte experiences, and on the other, introducing new stylistic and technical methods. The unique and specific techniques used by Sibania, along with the widespread use of manual skills, allow us to say that their works are truly unique.

These romantic figurines aim to represent the world — the world of childhood, full of emotions and evoking feelings in those who come into contact with it; believing that the purity of porcelain makes it the most suitable material for artistically depicting childhood innocence and purity. Traditional techniques serve as a starting point for creating these sculptures, but a more innovative and contemporary approach is reflected in the company's current and modern expression. These figurines are collectible items, but their expressive nature allows them to easily convey care or messages, making them occasionally especially meaningful gifts. Manufacturer information
