Porcelain Crucifix with Gilt Rococo Base and Wooden Cross
Possibly Vieux Andenne.
Belgium, mid-19th century.
A porcelain crucifix featuring a realistically grained wooden cross mounted on a Rococo-style white porcelain base. The crucified Christ is modeled in white porcelain with a gilded loincloth, mounted below a porcelain scroll inscribed "INRI." The scalloped and molded base is decorated with a gilded garland of lilies and cherub’s head, framed by elaborate scrollwork. The reverse is undecorated.
Porseleinen kruisbeeld met vergulde rococovoet en houten kruis.
Waarschijnlijk Vieux Andenne. België, midden 19e eeuw.
Porseleinen kruisbeeld met een realistisch geaderd houten kruis, gemonteerd op een wit porseleinen voetstuk in rococostijl. De gekruisigde Christus is gemodelleerd in wit porselein met vergulde lendendoek, onder een porseleinen cartouche met het opschrift “INRI.” De geschulpte en gemodelleerde voet is versierd met een vergulde lelietak en een cherubijnenkopje, omlijst door sierlijk rolwerk. De achterzijde is ongedecoreerd.
44.5 cm. high.
Note:
Crucifixes combining wood and porcelain were produced in Andenne and other Belgian ceramic centers in the 19th century for private devotion. The elaborate Rococo base with floral swags and angelic ornament is characteristic of Vieux Andenne porcelain, which was known for its delicate detail and white glaze. These hybrid devotional objects were often found in domestic or convent settings.
