Porcelain figurine Ophelia, girl with letter

Porcelain figure depicting a girl sitting on the ground with her legs to the side. She wears a refined dress made of white tulle petals, with a petticoat as blue as the little rose that stops the fluffy lapel at the front. She wears her hair styled in soft curls over her shoulder and holds a letter in her hand, which seems to have taken her to a place of memories. Every object produced by Sibania is absolutely unique both in the creation of each individual piece and in the production technique which is unmatched and which makes it difficult to imitate. These items are entirely modeled and painted by hand in our laboratory in the province of Vicenza (Italy). The clothes are thin sheets of porcelain, on which textures are imprinted. These sheets are cut according to the dress model and then patiently applied to the body of the statue. The hair styles are also handmade from time to time. On the "bisque" terracotta the faces, clothes and accessories are painted with non-toxic colours; the piece finally undergoes a further firing called "third fire". Any further details such as violin strings or wasp stands are applied at this point to the finished piece.
