Antique porcelain statue of Saint Joseph with Child – hand-painted religious statue (ca. 1900–1930)

This refined porcelain statue depicts Saint Joseph with the Christ Child, a classic and understated religious motif frequently produced in the early 20th century for home altars and devotional interiors. The soft facial expressions, the subdued use of color, and the hand-applied gold accents give the statue a calm, almost tender appearance.

Saint Joseph carries a lily as a symbol of purity and protection, while the Child holds a small globe with a cross—a reference to spiritual responsibility and care. The delicate folds of the robe and the subtle pastel colors are reminiscent of traditional European porcelain from the period around 1900–1930.

The statue is hollow inside, unglazed on the underside, and hand-painted. Minor wear to the gold is visible and consistent with its age; no cracks or restorations have been observed. An atmospheric object for lovers of religious art, antique porcelain, or tranquil symbolism.
