Following the mid-20th century, a number of Italian workshops began creating high-quality, hand-painted figurines for both religious and decorative purposes. These pieces, often made of resin for its durability and intricate detail-holding capacity, were popular in homes worldwide. The practice of signing pieces with the artist's initials, as seen on this figure, highlights the individual craftsmanship and artistry that went into each creation, making each piece unique. \"Exclusive Designs\" was one such company that specialized in this particular style, and this 1989 piece is a lovely example of their work from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements (Approximate):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8 inches (20 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.795 kg (1.75 lbs)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Exclusive Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52800064323931,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_9fc181c0-eba8-4b9a-92a0-7442bb7615f4.jpg?v=1776085690","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/1989-hand-painted-italian-holy-family-figurine-by-exclusive-designs-signed","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
