Porcelain woman like Gemini zodiac sign - Sibania

Gemini is a social and dynamic sign, so the character's pose is open to the world with a hand extended to the audience and lips parted in suspended speech. The outfit and hairstyle reflect the dual soul; the first is divided into two symmetrical halves differing in type of pastry: on the left, representing the rational side, is a neat sheet, while on the right, the creative side, is covered with an irregular baking sheet. The hair in a cool bob is gathered on the left side, highlighted by a blue flower reminiscent of spring explosion, and tousled on the right side. 

Gemini's colors are bright yellow and blue; here, there are bright, blue eyes like a flower in the hair and a dress divided into a solid color and lace, also reminiscent of the sign's affiliation with the Air element. On the bust, the symbol of the sign is masked, again divided into pure vertical and linear elements and curly horizontal elements.  Finally, the base is blue to remind us of the affiliation with the Air element.

Every item produced by Sibania is absolutely unique both in the craftsmanship of each piece and in the technique used, which is unparalleled and makes imitation difficult. These items are fully modeled and hand-painted in our laboratory in Vicenza (Italy). The garments are 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 occasionally handcrafted. On the "biscuit" terracotta, faces, clothing, and accessories are painted with non-toxic colors; the piece is finally subjected to further firing called the "third fire." Any additional details, such as violin strings or stand supports, are added at this stage to the finished piece.

The highest quality porcelain combined with handwork and original designs is the hallmark of Sibania. It is a tribute to true craftsmanship, human skill, and the times when handmade was a valued commodity. Beautiful porcelain dolls are their signature, recognized worldwide. Sibania is an Italian company based in Vicenza. Italian craftsmanship and workshop tradition form the foundation of ongoing research into materials and production techniques of the brand. 

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 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 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 biscuit component models for major artisan workshops and doll-making companies in Italy. In 1998, the company began producing figurines, small sculptures mainly depicting children. On one hand, continuously recalling the productive 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 use of manual skills, make their works truly one-of-a-kind.

These unique figurines aim to represent the world — the world of childhood, full of emotions and evoking feelings in those who come into contact with them; 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, allowing for a more innovative and contemporary presentation, as the current and modern expression of the company's work is particularly distinctive. These figurines are collectible items, but their expressive nature can easily convey care or a message, making them occasionally especially meaningful gifts. Manufacturer information
