    One of a pair of blessing fonts
    The dealer claimed they were from a West German church bombed during WWII
    There are cast screw holes allowing the font to be secured to a base.
    The maker could be German - Inwald? or maybe even Schneider during the short lived Vercais period? but no marks to indicate who.
    When a candle is placed in the holder behind the figure the light is beautifully refracted in a golden glow

      What are the dimensions of this piece?
    3. stsebastius stsebastius, 6 years ago
      The fonts are about 30 cms high, they appear to have been cast in a four piece mould.

      pressglas has these in their unknown section but they are subtitled Riedel; go to end of page as they are in the last 2 rows:
