Porcelain zodiac figurines: Aquarius

Aquarius according to the Zodiac The central sign of winter is Aquarius, a freezing period, in which everything is hostile, still and frozen. Aquarius stands out for its great breadth of vision, towards the community and towards the future, with an unparalleled capacity for abstraction, imagination and a drive for progress. Aquarius creates and invents, with a visionary and collective mind: it is said that they prefer to speak in the plural, that they feel part of and connected to something bigger, sincerely attracted by high ideals, aware that the desired progress will only come from collaboration and sharing, thus risking not recognizing one's specific contribution. The predisposition for friendship and the great sense of equality bring to the mark many relationships, managed with cordiality and diplomacy, as well as a certain dose of political skill. Condescension to power is however foreign to him, and indeed he actively argues where social justice seems at risk. even to become militant in defense of collective goods. The Sibania Aquarium Aquarius is a creative and sociable sign, the dress and pose of this figure recall its features, with a hand offered to the public. The shape of the dress, perfectly smooth, unique in this collection, recalls the iconography of the sign, linked to the vase from which the water spreads, and the left arm of the figure almost seems to be the left arm of the jug. The hair resembles a tortuous waterfall, while in irregular but well-defined curls they flow down one shoulder. The colors associated with Aquarius are blue and indigo, which are found in the dress and details, as well as in the eyes. The hair is instead black, indicating the winter period of the sign. Like the other Air signs, a flow of curled lace characterizes the figure, running down like a trickle of water along the front of the dress and then spreading around it, at the base. The symbol of Aquarius is echoed by the indigo-colored trim on the figure's chest. Finally, the base is blue, to remember belonging to the element Air. The mini Sibania Aquarium Aquarius is a creative and sociable sign, with a hand offered to the public and a dress unique in this collection, perfectly smooth, which recalls the vase from which water pours out, while the black hair recalls a winding waterfall. The colors are blue and indigo of the dress and eyes. As with the other Air signs, light and charming, the dress is embellished with lace, while the base is light blue with the symbol of the sign 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.
