Description:
Pair of German Porcelain Wall-Mounted Holy Water Fonts, circa 1900
A decorative pair of antique German porcelain holy water fonts, each modelled in high relief with the figure of the Ascending Christ, surrounded by swirling clouds and gilt scrollwork, with two cherubic heads adorning the font bowl below.
Both pieces are hand-painted with fine detail and enriched with gilt highlights, in a style typical of late 19th to early 20th-century Continental religious porcelain.
The reverse of each bears an underglaze blue mark resembling crossed swords above the letter “R” — a pseudo-Meissen mark commonly used by German porcelain factories imitating the Meissen style during this period.
Dimensions: Height: 28 cm Width: approx. 13.5 cm Depth: approx. 9 cm
Condition: Both in good decorative condition.
One has a small chip to the rim of the font bowl; otherwise, only minor wear to the gilding and surface.
No major cracks or signs of restoration.
Some typical firing marks and wear to the reverse from wall mounting.
Condition: Used
Delivery option: Collection & Delivery
