Vieux Bruxelles refers to the collective name for porcelain made by several Brussels-based factories from the late 18th century through the early 20th century, known for devotional figures, tableware, and decorative works in the French tradition. This example, likely dating from circa 1880–1900, reflects the popular Catholic iconography of the period.
