Beautiful French antique Holy water font made of Paris porcelain in the late 1800s.

It was meant to be placed on a bedside table or to travel with. This is a much larger model than the ones I usually have.

 

Originally decorated in gold and green which have faded in most places. The inside was completely gold but it is almost gone except behind Mary. The leaves still have traces of green and gold.
The statue of the Virgin Mary is not glazed. It has some small stains and dicolouration. One hand is missing.
Some small flowers have been broken off in places (4 small ones next to the large flowers). One large petal missing on the flower at the top.
Some white paint was added at the top (mostly visible behind).
Number 3 hand painted underneath.
Imperfections in the porcelain such as black dots.

 

This table font would make a perfect first communion gift but is also a highly collectable antique in its own right! It is rare to find that sort of font in such a large size.
Height 19.2 cm / 7.48 inches
Maximum width 11.2 cm / 4.33 inches
Depth approx. 8 cm / 3.14 inches
