Porcelain woman doll - Scorpio zodiac sign - Sibania

Scorpio is a sensitive, intelligent, and mysterious sign, and its extraordinary pose—captivating yet withdrawn, curious yet cautious—fully reflects its character. Even a simple dress with elaborate details alludes to these aspects, decorated, like other water signs, with patches of white, sincere, and bright tulle, which in this case fades into black to indicate the sign's mysterious and underground nature. There are eight tulle ends, resembling the legs of a scorpion, gradually increasing from the shortest at the front to the longest at the back, culminating in the central, ninth, longest, and darkest one, curled like a stinger. This is also reminiscent of the long braid emerging from a charming drop on the forehead. 

The colors of the sign are dark red and black, with the eyes taking on a violet hue of the Water element. The complex Scorpio symbol is accentuated by black outlines of the bra and curls, which complete the contour.

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 fully 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 sculpture’s torso. Hairstyles are also occasionally handcrafted. Faces, clothing, and accessories are painted with non-toxic colors on the “bisque” terracotta; the piece is finally subjected to further firing called “third fire.” Additional details, such as violin strings or stand components, are added at this stage to the finished piece.

The highest quality raw material—porcelain—combined with manual work and exceptional designs, defines the Sibania brand. It is a tribute to true craftsmanship, human dexterity, and the times when handmade items were highly valued. Beautiful porcelain dolls are their signature, recognized worldwide. Sibania is an Italian company based in Vicenza. Italian craftsmanship and workshop tradition are the foundation of ongoing research into materials and production techniques of the brand.

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 porcelain craftsmanship known as Capodimonte, 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 benchmarks.

The brand places great importance on the evolving tradition of craftsmanship, with detailed research into materials, and aims for continuous product innovation with a focus on 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 biskvit component models for major workshops and companies manufacturing porcelain dolls in Italy. In 1998, the company began producing figurines, small sculptures mainly depicting children. On one hand, continuously applying the finishing and decorating techniques learned from Capodimonte, and on the other, introducing new stylistic and technical methods. The unique and specific techniques used by Sibania, along with the widespread manual skills, make their work truly one of a kind.

These unique figurines aim to represent the world—a 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 distinctive 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
