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
stunning moulded piece of religious glass
many thanks for sharing
all the very best malkey

What are the dimensions of this piece?
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:
