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…

History of The House of Wolfin of Kamen:
On the 18th of September, 1338 Prague was granted the privilege to establish a permanent Town Hall. The town bought a house from a certain Volflin of Kamen and adapted it for the purposes of creating a town hall. Over the first 10 years an extra floor was built by Petr Parléř from Swabian Gmünd. The beautiful and decorative entrance with the coats-of-arms of Prague and the initials of King Vladislav Jagiełło was made by Matěj Rejsek in 1480. Its original Gothic entrance on the left is from the 14th c. while the carved wings of its gate are from the early Baroque period.
