Vintage Nativity Christmas Crèche Fontanini Figures Hand Painted XMAS Italian

Amazing deal on this vintage Nativity Crèche collection (different eras and makers). The nine pieces include at least two Vintage Italian figurines by Fontanini (the hand painted paper mache Pauper and two-piece Jesus in the Manger) as well as a wood Stable by Roman Inc (Roselle) and five other hand painted paper mache figures (possibly Mary and Joseph and then three animals: a donkey, sheep and lamp, I believe). Worth the price for a couple of the pieces alone! SIZE: The stable is 11” H by 12” W by 5.5” deep. The people figures are about 4” tall and the animals range from 2” - 3” tall by 2”-4” wide. CONDITION: Each has some of the expected age-related signs of wear. Of note, the lamb has a chip out of its base (though it stands fine) and the sheep (or goat) had a previous repair to reattach it’s head. Note that while the others are a kind of plaster / paper mache with hand painting, I’m not sure what the composition is of the lovely Fontanini baby Jesus (from 1991). Reasonable offers always welcome. — Italy Mexico Germany erzgebirge Carved wood Fontanini Figurines Mid century Christmas Vintage Christmas Erzgebirgische Volkskunst Holzhandwerk Seiffen Shepherd Mother Mary 112024
