  • The Artistic Ceramic Laboratory Danilo Sartoni has been represented as a handicraft company since 1976 and from the beginning it has been orientated towards the creation of dolls and miniature dolls made of clay and polished with bee wax.
     
  • A careful historic research on the origin and the symbolic values of the doll has brought us to rediscover her function, in the past, not only as a toy for children, but also as a propitiatory image for female fertility.
     
  • The production of the Sartoni Laboratory privileges the use of natural materials and offers a vast range of models with common characteristics: the parts of the body are movable and are connected to the body with elastic links, the faces are hand painted.
     
  • The choice of the models of the dresses and their making requires patience and precision, bearing in the mind that the dolls are mainly of small and medium sizes; the materials used come mainly from old trousseaus, linen and laces.
     
  • Starting with a beautiful embroidery, an insert, a lace or a decoration, still intact despite the passing time, we make the dress which is most suitable to exploit a keepsake of ability and refinement that perhaps would have been lost.
     
  • We have always thought that not only the collectionist can appreciate the freshness of the faces, the choice of the materials and the precision of the execution: our dolls are a different idea suggested to the person who would like to send a message of good wishes for every happy occasion that is worth remembering.
