Little blues

Porcelain figurine of a bandoneón player, an accordion typical of Argentine Tango. He is wearing a brown and white tartan jacket on a red sweater, brown herringbone knickerboxers, a red and black striped scarf and a brown and a white nearly baggy houndstooth hat. He is sitting on a blue marbled balustrade next to his good friend Grande Jazz. Just like him, he is one of the founders of the Sweet Swing Band, Sibania’s official jazz band.
Height: 28 cm

Every product created by Sibania is unique both concerning the realization process of every single piece and the production technology, which boasts its being inimitable by others. Each item is hand made and hand painted in our workshop, set in Vicenza (Italy). All clothes are made of thin, porcelain layers on which different kinds of textures are impressed. These layers are cutted according to the characteristics of every single template. They are successively carefully applied on the figurine body. Hairstyles are also handcrafted depending on each figurine’s unique features. Faces, clothes and accessories are painted on the biscuit with non-toxic colors. The piece is eventually baked one last time (“third firing”). Any additional details such as violin strings or the Vespa kickstands are then applied on the finished piece.
