Maker / Background
Fontanini is an Italian nativity figure maker known for Christmas nativity, presepio, village, shepherd, wise man, angel, animal, and Holy Family figures. Older Fontanini figures are collectible for their Italian craftsmanship, hand-painted look, religious Christmas display appeal, and replacement figure demand. The Depose Italy spider mark is associated with older Fontanini production and helps place these pieces in the vintage pre-1980s / likely 1970s spider mark era.
