Pavone
The Italian design company Pavone is known primarily for its original porcelain figurines, which are appreciated by collectors all over the world. However, not only figurines are produced under this brand, but also many other porcelain products — vases, candlesticks, lamps, tableware and much more. The products of this company can be seen at many online auctions and, of course, in branded stores. The company's products, with all their diversity, have a characteristic style in which simplicity of form is combined with elegance and completeness.
Perhaps it was this peculiar style that brought the Pavone brand such popularity.
Pavone has several porcelain factories in Italy and China. All plants use the same production technology and a single quality control system. The main material is solid white porcelain, the secret of which was discovered in Europe in the XVIII century. This material is slightly deformed during firing, which allows you to create figurines and other products with a large number of small details.
Products of complex shape are assembled from several parts, which are glued together using porcelain paste. After firing, the joints cannot be seen and the product looks monolithic.
One of the most important stages is coloring. Each product is painted by hand, after which it is covered with glaze and fired at a high temperature (more than 1000 degrees). In some cases, the glaze is not used — then the porcelain surface looks matte.
As you know, when firing ceramic products (including porcelain), cracks or deformations often occur. Therefore, Pavone porcelain factories pay special attention to product quality control. At every stage of production — from the preparation of raw materials to packaging — there is a strict control system. Defective products are immediately seized and destroyed. Only products that have successfully passed all checks are available for sale.
Confirmation of the high quality of porcelain products is the Pavone brand mark, which is applied to the underside of the product. The presence of such a brand means that the product is recognized as flawless.
