We believe it is from the Fontanini & Sons factory, made in Italy in the mid-20th century. The pair does not feature the Fontana branding, as it would not have been included with the "Italy" and catalog number. However, as you can see, the lettering, numbers, and green color are identical to those of the branding used by this manufacturer. For this reason, in our opinion, this is a piece from this manufacturer, and also quite unusual, rare, and extremely beautiful.
