Blue Fairy porcelain figurines

Porcelain figurines depicting the Blue Fairy, from the book of Pinocchio.    They are all sitting on the ground, with their blue hair loose on their shoulders. The dresses are light blue with white tulle inserts, they carry a wand in their hands (except for the two smaller versions) and wear a pointed hat with a star on the side. 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.
