Our history

Inspired by the stylistic and technical features of the traditional craftmanship of the so called Capodimonte porcelain, Sibania has produced porcelain since 1980. Starting from this tradition, characterized by exceptional manual skill, we have then tried to integrate a continuous innovation, but keeping unchanged the handcrafted and the italian craftmanship as a benchmark.

From tradition to uniqueness

We attempted to combine a great attention to the artisan workshop tradition, as it developed for centuries, to an accurate research on materials, one of our aims being a constant innovation of the product with the respect of human health: we only use non toxic materials, free from lead, cadmium or other health dangerous compounds.

We grew up with our dolls…

Since the mid-1980s we can say with a pinch of pride that Sibania has become a reference company in the Italian production of porcelain dolls, producing the biscuit on our exclusive prototypes for the main artisan workshops and companies that dwell in this field in Italy.

During the period spanning the late 1980s and early 1990s, we produced biscuit porcelain components—based on our own exclusive designs—for the leading artisanal workshops and companies in Italy that manufactured porcelain dolls.

… and matured with our figurines

In 1998 we started the production of our figurines, small sculptures that mainly represent children. On ne side we constantly kept in mind the productive techniques of finishing and decoration acquired during the Capodimonte experience, and on the other we introduced new stylistic and technical methods.

Then our heart got its shape

The unique and peculiar techniques we use and the strongly prevalent use of manual skills, allow us to say that our pieces are practically unique pieces.

These figurines want to be the representation of a world, the childhood world, full of emotions and that produces feelings in those who come into contact with it; we believe that the purity of porcelain makes this material a most suitable one for the artistic representation of children’s innocence and purity.

Who are we today?

For the realization of these figurines, the traditional techniques are the starting point for a more innovative and contemporary representation, as actual and contemporary is the particular expressivity of our pieces.

These figurines are collectible items and really perfect as a thoughtful gift, since their expressivity can easily communicate a care or a message, so that they can become an expecially valuable present, dense with emotions and long lasting.
