Porcelain zodiac figurines: Virgo

Virgo according to the Zodiac Virgo is the sign that ends the summer, the season is still warm and reassuring, but the first cold weather is starting to be felt. Equipped with a great spirit of observation, Virgo needs to understand and control reality: the practical sense of the Earth element makes it less sensitive to flights of fancy and fantasies, it rather enjoys concrete application, material resolution of problems. Understanding, analysis and synthesis are his innate qualities, as are methodicality, discretion, moderation and confidentiality. 100% reliable, Virgo loves to do things well and particularly enjoys when things go according to plan. The strong sense of duty overshadows pride and manifests itself with great humility and application. Attentive and punctual, she gives importance to details and does not miss details. In relationships this aspect becomes very useful: the expression of one's love through small gestures compensates for the actual coldness and rationality of the sign.

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.
