Porcelain figurines Little Red Riding Hood

Porcelain figures depicting Little Red Riding Hood. As the fairy tale tells, these little girls wear a cape with a red hood to cover their heads, a blue dress and have the wicker basket with the treats to take to their grandmother placed next to them. At the edge of the woods, they are undecided whether to take the winding path between the flowery clearings or the wide road that cuts through the woods and leads directly to their grandmother's house. Note on the collection Every detail of the FIABE collection has been studied based on drawings from different period editions of traditional fairy tales, looking for the elements common to most and translating them into the form seen here. 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.
