Unusual and extremely rare antique pewter Holy water font. 
It is marked at the back: Joseph Neidhart in Schlaggenwald (Western Bohemia). The writing is partly erased. 
I have another font that could be from the same maker in my store:  https://www.cabinetdemerveilles.com/product-page/antique-pewter-standing-holy-water-font-from-germany-jesus-christus
 
Beautiful depiction of Jesus on the cross and ornate decor. Cherubs at the top.  
The lid as the eye of providence on. This symbol was linked to the Illuminati and Freemasons.
Some details are worn like the face of Christ or the cherubs.
Small loop at top but the font stands well on a flat surface.
The small recipient is distorted as can be seen in the photographs. 
White stains at the hinges of the lid. Signs of heavy use inside the recipient.
Marks, stains and scratches commensurate with age and use.
19.2 x 8 cm / 7.55 x 3.14 inches
Depth: approx. 5 cm / 1.96 inches
The pictures are part of the description.
 
Import duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
 
Thanks for visiting Cabinet de Merveilles!
