Miniature porcelain house:
In front of you are pictures of a detailed replica of a real house. It is a hand-crafted and faithfully processed porcelain model of house in Prague, and one of the largest. Our porcelain houses are part of brand line that includes over 80 miniature houses found in Prague. From them you can build the Old Town Square, the Golden Lane or even a part of the Lesser Town.

How it comes about:
The basic model is made in scale according to the actual model. Then it’s converted in an elaborate way into a form, from which we obtain individual parts by casting porcelain mass. After assembling, retouching, drying and firing, careful and detailed revising begins again. This process is followed by hand painting with several layers of glaze and another firing at 1200 ° C. Last task is the final decor and firing in the kiln. It is a unique and sophisticated technique of creating models with the theme of historic houses. You can see the result in front of you…

The goal:
Our aim is to capture the beauty of architecture in the imprint of ceramic clay and to transfer a piece of poetry of old Prague to your homes. Old Prague lovers in our country, as well as travelers from all over the world, have sets of entire streets and individual pieces of our models at home. It is a nice and valuable reminder of visiting Prague and Bohemia.

This product is made based on The House at the Golden Horn, which can be found at this address:
Old Town Square 4/10, Old Town, 110 00 Prague 1, Czech Republic

History of The House at the Golden Horn:
This house was built from two houses that used to stand here. They were merged in 1623. From the original building only cellars were preserved. It was built by the architect Jan Dominik de Barifis for the emperor’s Counsellor Bartoloměj de Pauli. De Barifis managed to preserve part of the original building with graffiti decorations by incorporating it into his project. Another large reconstruction was done in 1801. The arcade of the house was walled in and turned into small shops. It was restored to its original shape only during the last renovation by the architect Pavel Janak, who also worked at the Prague Castle.

Quality and packaging:
Our models are miniatures of real buildings. We place great importance on the quality and detail of the processing of our products. All the miniature houses are hand-painted and hand-crafted from porcelain, so the individual pieces may differ slightly in size and color shade. Each item is original and unique.
