Description

Maiolica holy water stoup, painted in polychrome with St Anthony of Padua or St Dominic holding a bunch of lilies.

Dark buff earthenware, tin-glazed on the front. Painted in greyish-blue, sage-green, and dark yellow, with manganese-purple outlines and shading. The shield-shaped back has two suspension holes at the top below moulded scrolls, and at the bottom a receptacle for Holy Water, formed by an applied half-cone moulded in relief with a winged cherub's head. On each side there is an applied twisted column with a pointed leaf at the base and a three-dimensional cherub at the top. St Anthony of Padua or St Dominic, stands facing to the left holding a bunch of lilies in his right hand and a book under his left arm.
