Holy Water Font Baroque 7 1/2×11 13/16in Madonna Of Scala IN Ceramic Of
Finely decorated wall piece of furniture in blue, green and orange to use in your prayers.
Hand painted, a representation of the Madonna of the staircase.
It can also be the right gift that you have been looking for so much, a piece of furniture to give a touch of Baroque style to your rooms or your garden.
Measurements: Height 30 cm. Width 19 cm
Some models of holy water fonts that you can find in our Ebay store.
History of the holy water stoup
The holy water stoup, a sacred object that takes up the classic style of its origin in Sicily, is represented with new plastic and decorative styles in pure made in Italy style.
The widespread use of drawing holy water has given rise to bedside stoups designed to contain holy water at home, to be used during morning and evening prayers by all members of the family.
In Caltagirone, the oldest majolica stoups we know of are from the late sixteenth century. In the front part of the shrine it was customary to paint cherub heads or the cross, or some Marian symbol.
In the seventeenth century the patron saints of the places where they were produced were represented. The images, often formed by columns, archivolt, and tympanum, are in relief and almost always in a single color, in dark manganese. The basin, in the lower part, looks like a very protruding turned and shaped cup.
In the eighteenth century the holy water stoup reached its maximum artistic development, through modeled and painted elements in monochrome or bright polychrome. The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel. Since the late seventeenth century, when the brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception was founded in the Oratory of PP. Conventuals of San Francesco, in Caltagirone there is a strong devotional growth towards the Madonna, expressed also in the objects of common use produced by the craftsmanship of the cannatari, incorporated in the aforementioned brotherhood. Plates, quarters, fruit bowls and holy water fonts almost always show the image of the Madonna.
The popular holy water fonts of the late eighteenth century frequently resemble those rich and sumptuous baskets of sweet pastry, which are used to make at Easter celebrations for the delight of children.

The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel. Since the late seventeenth century, when the brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception was founded in the Oratory of PP. Conventuals of San Francesco, in Caltagirone there is a strong devotional growth towards the Madonna, expressed also in the objects of common use produced by the craftsmanship of the cannatari, incorporated in the aforementioned brotherhood. Plates, quarters, fruit bowls and holy water fonts almost always show the image of the Madonna.
The popular holy water fonts of the late eighteenth century frequently resemble those rich and sumptuous baskets of sweet pastry, which are used to make at Easter celebrations for the delight of children.

History of the holy water stoup
The holy water stoup, a sacred object that takes up the classic style of its origin in Sicily, is represented with new plastic and decorative styles in pure made in Italy style.
The widespread use of drawing holy water has given rise to bedside stoups designed to contain holy water at home, to be used during morning and evening prayers by all members of the family.
In Caltagirone, the oldest majolica stoups we know of are from the late sixteenth century. In the front part of the shrine it was customary to paint cherub heads or the cross, or some Marian symbol.
In the seventeenth century the patron saints of the places where they were produced were represented. The images, often formed by columns, archivolt, and tympanum, are in relief and almost always in a single color, in dark manganese. The basin, in the lower part, looks like a very protruding turned and shaped cup.
In the eighteenth century the holy water stoup reached its maximum artistic development, through modeled and painted elements in monochrome or bright polychrome. The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel.

History of the holy water stoup
The holy water stoup, a sacred object that takes up the classic style of its origin in Sicily, is represented with new plastic and decorative styles in pure made in Italy style.
The widespread use of drawing holy water has given rise to bedside stoups designed to contain holy water at home, to be used during morning and evening prayers by all members of the family.
In Caltagirone, the oldest majolica stoups we know of are from the late sixteenth century. In the front part of the shrine it was customary to paint cherub heads or the cross, or some Marian symbol.
In the seventeenth century the patron saints of the places where they were produced were represented. The images, often formed by columns, archivolt, and tympanum, are in relief and almost always in a single color, in dark manganese. The basin, in the lower part, looks like a very protruding turned and shaped cup.
In the eighteenth century the holy water stoup reached its maximum artistic development, through modeled and painted elements in monochrome or bright polychrome. The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel. Since the late seventeenth century, when the brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception was founded in the Oratory of PP. Conventuals of San Francesco, in Caltagirone there is a strong devotional growth towards the Madonna, expressed also in the objects of common use produced by the craftsmanship of the cannatari, incorporated in the aforementioned brotherhood. Plates, quarters, fruit bowls and holy water fonts almost always show the image of the Madonna.
The popular holy water fonts of the late eighteenth century frequently resemble those rich and sumptuous baskets of sweet pastry, which are used to make at Easter celebrations for the delight of children.

Some models of holy water fonts that you can find in our Ebay store.
History of the holy water stoup
The holy water stoup, a sacred object that takes up the classic style of its origin in Sicily, is represented with new plastic and decorative styles in pure made in Italy style.
The widespread use of drawing holy water has given rise to bedside stoups designed to contain holy water at home, to be used during morning and evening prayers by all members of the family.
In Caltagirone, the oldest majolica stoups we know of are from the late sixteenth century. In the front part of the shrine it was customary to paint cherub heads or the cross, or some Marian symbol.
In the seventeenth century the patron saints of the places where they were produced were represented. The images, often formed by columns, archivolt, and tympanum, are in relief and almost always in a single color, in dark manganese. The basin, in the lower part, looks like a very protruding turned and shaped cup.
In the eighteenth century the holy water stoup reached its maximum artistic development, through modeled and painted elements in monochrome or bright polychrome. The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel. Since the late seventeenth century, when the brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception was founded in the Oratory of PP. Conventuals of San Francesco, in Caltagirone there is a strong devotional growth towards the Madonna, expressed also in the objects of common use produced by the craftsmanship of the cannatari, incorporated in the aforementioned brotherhood. Plates, quarters, fruit bowls and holy water fonts almost always show the image of the Madonna.
The popular holy water fonts of the late eighteenth century frequently resemble those rich and sumptuous baskets of sweet pastry, which are used to make at Easter celebrations for the delight of children.

It can also be the right gift that you have been looking for so much, a piece of furniture to give a touch of Baroque style to your rooms or your garden.
Measurements: Height 33 cm. Width 28 cm
Some models of holy water fonts that you can find in our Ebay store.
History of the holy water stoup
The holy water stoup, a sacred object that takes up the classic style of its origin in Sicily, is represented with new plastic and decorative styles in pure made in Italy style.
The widespread use of drawing holy water has given rise to bedside stoups designed to contain holy water at home, to be used during morning and evening prayers by all members of the family.
In Caltagirone, the oldest majolica stoups we know of are from the late sixteenth century. In the front part of the shrine it was customary to paint cherub heads or the cross, or some Marian symbol.
In the seventeenth century the patron saints of the places where they were produced were represented. The images, often formed by columns, archivolt, and tympanum, are in relief and almost always in a single color, in dark manganese. The basin, in the lower part, looks like a very protruding turned and shaped cup.
In the eighteenth century the holy water stoup reached its maximum artistic development, through modeled and painted elements in monochrome or bright polychrome. The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel. Since the late seventeenth century, when the brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception was founded in the Oratory of PP. Conventuals of San Francesco, in Caltagirone there is a strong devotional growth towards the Madonna, expressed also in the objects of common use produced by the craftsmanship of the cannatari, incorporated in the aforementioned brotherhood. Plates, quarters, fruit bowls and holy water fonts almost always show the image of the Madonna.
The popular holy water fonts of the late eighteenth century frequently resemble those rich and sumptuous baskets of sweet pastry, which are used to make at Easter celebrations for the delight of children.

History of the holy water stoup
The holy water stoup, a sacred object that takes up the classic style of its origin in Sicily, is represented with new plastic and decorative styles in pure made in Italy style.
The widespread use of drawing holy water has given rise to bedside stoups designed to contain holy water at home, to be used during morning and evening prayers by all members of the family.
In Caltagirone, the oldest majolica stoups we know of are from the late sixteenth century. In the front part of the shrine it was customary to paint cherub heads or the cross, or some Marian symbol.
In the seventeenth century the patron saints of the places where they were produced were represented. The images, often formed by columns, archivolt, and tympanum, are in relief and almost always in a single color, in dark manganese. The basin, in the lower part, looks like a very protruding turned and shaped cup.
In the eighteenth century the holy water stoup reached its maximum artistic development, through modeled and painted elements in monochrome or bright polychrome. The most common devotional saints are the Virgin, St. Anthony of Padua, St. James the Greater, the Child Jesus, St. John of God, the face of Christ, St. Francis of Paola, the Guardian Angel. Since the late seventeenth century, when the brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception was founded in the Oratory of PP. Conventuals of San Francesco, in Caltagirone there is a strong devotional growth towards the Madonna, expressed also in the objects of common use produced by the craftsmanship of the cannatari, incorporated in the aforementioned brotherhood. Plates, quarters, fruit bowls and holy water fonts almost always show the image of the Madonna.
The popular holy water fonts of the late eighteenth century frequently resemble those rich and sumptuous baskets of sweet pastry, which are used to make at Easter celebrations for the delight of children.
