Vintage “Gloria” Angel – Depose Italy, Fontanini

A beautiful vintage “Gloria” angel marked Depose Italy, crafted in the classic early Fontanini style. This undated version features soft golden tones, hand-painted shading, and the iconic flowing banner inscribed GLORIA. With expressive features and elegant wings, she adds warmth and authenticity to any nativity display.

Although not dated, the sculpt, paint style, and material strongly resemble 1980s Fontanini-era production, and she includes the stylized “S” mark, often associated with E. Simonelli designs.
