Description This vintage ceramic holy water font depicts a softly sculpted child saint with a halo, accompanied by a lamb—a traditional symbol of innocence and divine protection. The piece was made by SL Venlo , a Dutch ceramics factory known primarily for religious objects, atmospheric sculptures, and mid-20th-century interior decorations.
The glossy cream glaze, combined with the rounded, almost toy-like shapes, gives this sculpture a warm and approachable appearance. The piece wears its age visibly and honestly, with small chips on the upper rim of the halo and on the back of the bowl. These imperfections enhance the object's character and authenticity.
The old silver-colored label on the front (partially legible) and the green stamp MADE IN HOLLAND – SL Venlo confirm the authenticity.
This object fits beautifully in: – devotional collections – vintage religious art – cottagecore/interior with a nostalgic look – altars, sacred corners or decorative wall arrangements
