Product description
Magnificent and rare antique wall-mounted holy water font, early 20th century (1900-1930), made of white porcelain biscuit. Baroque style. A very high-quality German manufacture, marked "Germany" on the reverse with a painted blue monogram reminiscent of Meissen-inspired pieces from the early 20th century. This rather rare model features two angels in high relief holding a large, glazed shell-shaped holy water font, glazed on the inside to hold the holy water. The biscuit porcelain is very fine, translucent in the light, with delicate drapery, gentle faces, and finely detailed wings—a remarkable display of exquisite craftsmanship.
20 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. In good overall condition, with a few minor losses: a few fingers on the right hand are missing, and there is a chip on the top of the toes on the back foot of the right angel, as well as a chip on the toes of the front foot of the left angel. These are relatively discreet flaws; the rest of the piece is impeccable. No cracks, no repairs, and the shell is intact. Approximately 650-700 grams.
