These are not the wax favours from the rest of the shop. Ceramic Event Favours are hand-cast, hand-painted figurines and small vessels — unscented, made purely as objects to keep. Each one begins as liquid ceramic slip poured into a figurine mold, then left to dry for a minimum of 48 hours before it's sanded to a smooth, refined finish and painted by hand. No shortcuts, no machine casting, no two brushstrokes identical. It's slow work, done the same way in this studio as it would have been done a generation ago, and it shows in the weight and finish of the piece.
What makes these different from a favour you'd find at a bomboniere shop in the valley below is simple: nobody else in South Tyrol is hand-casting ceramics this way, start to finish, under one roof. Most bomboniere artigianali are either imported or finished elsewhere. Here, the same hands that mix the slip also paint the final detail. That continuity is the whole point — it's why a guest keeps the piece on a shelf instead of letting it disappear into a drawer.
Choosing between pieces comes down to the occasion and the room it's headed for. A wedding favour tends to lean toward quieter, neutral tones that sit well in any home; a baptism piece often takes a softer palette suited to a nursery or christening table. Because every piece is painted individually, small variations in color and brushwork are part of the character, not a flaw to apologise for.
These favours travel well — light, compact, and packaged in branded Dolomites Glow materials with custom decoration for the occasion, ready to hand out at the end of an evening in Laion, Val Gardena, or anywhere the celebration happens to be.

Are Ceramic Event Favours scented?
No. Unlike our candles, Ceramic Event Favours are unscented decorative pieces — the focus is entirely on the hand-cast, hand-painted ceramic itself.
Can these be customised for a specific wedding or baptism?
Yes — colour, finish, and small personalisation details can be discussed for bulk orders. Get in touch before ordering in quantity so we can plan production around your date.
How long does it take to make a batch of favours?
Each piece needs a minimum 48-hour drying time before sanding and painting, so bulk orders for weddings or baptisms should be placed well ahead of the event date.
Will every favour look exactly the same?
Not quite, and that's intentional. Because each piece is cast and painted by hand, slight variations in tone and finish are part of the handmade character, not a defect.
