Red Dot Concept, a Singaporean manufacturer, creates ceramic caricature dolls based on photos supplied by customers. Artists make the dolls by hand, with a 65-75% resemblance to the pictures. (They are caricatures, after all.) Customers can choose between a fully handmade doll, which includes not only the facial features and hairstyle, but also clothes, gestures and background as shown on the photo; or a partially handmade doll, which has a handmade, personalized head on a more generic body. Dolls are ready for shipping 14-21 days after an order has been placed. They’re popular as wedding gifts and graduation presents. We’ve written about gravanity dolls before, and aren’t surprised to hear that the concept is still alive and kicking across the globe. After all, who wouldn’t want to see their own image cast in stone? (For more gravanity inspired products and services, check out our previous articles on: banking cards, wrapping paper, wallpaper, confetti, and stamps.)
