MINIATURE PORCELAIN DOLLS Carabosse dolls are craftsmanship creations made of porcelain and out of original moulds. They represent, 1/12 scale, ladies of different historical periods, characters of famous ballets and popular fairy tales. The making of these dolls involves a long and complex process that begins with a first modelling in clay to obtain plaster moulds that will allow shaping the porcelain. After that, the pieces are polished with silk and baked at a a temperature over 1200ºC to achieve their total vitrification. The enamelling of the pieces is obtained by the application of three consecutive layers of enamel and baking them each time. Their costumes, based on genuine patterns, are made of natural material such as organdi, different kinds of silk and fine cotton, wich are dyed and sewn by hand. They are also trimmed with hand-made embroidery, passementerie, bobbin lace, crochet... All the dolls wear either fabric shoes or leather ones with leather sole.
These ladies, pieces of collection or inhabitants of doll houses, represent ladies of different historical periods, especially the 19th century. They are arrayed according to the fashion of their times. Their bodies are formed by porcelaine pieces and joined by means of stranded wire, wich allows motion. Their costumes, as well as their hair style, shoes and complements, are the result of a thorough study on the fashion history. This study has been carried out through several sources: books of old illustrations, fashion magazines, photographs, pictures and collections of historical costumes in museums. CLASSICAL BALLET DANCERS
The ballerinas represent several characters of very known classical ballets such as Coppèlia, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, La Bayadère, Don Quixote, Paquita... The design of the dresses is inspired by the costumes that the most important ballet companies (Royal Ballet of London, Ballet of the Opera National de Paris, American Ballet Theatre...) have used in their performances.
