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 smallest. 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.

History of The House at the Three Little Fiddles:
History of this house goes back to the 14th century when it was founded. It shared the same fate as most of the buildings in Lesser Town - It was consumed by fire and was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, as shown by its wooden ceilings. Three violin makers’ families owned this house during the 17th and the 18th centuries. After 1667 it was bought by Barbara, a widow of a violinmaker. The violinmaker, Leonard Pradter, who also made string instruments for the Loretto, owned the house later. His widow married another violinmaker, Tomáš Edlinger, and his son Joseph inherited the house as well as the craft. Edlinger’s hands made one of the Ludwig van Beethoven’s instruments. Jan Severa, a maker of playing cards, owned the house since 1789.
