Porcelain Holy Water Font Depicting the Infant Christ, by Petrus Regout
Petrus Regout & Co., Maastricht.
The Netherlands, circa 1860.
A white-glazed porcelain holy water font depicting the Infant Christ seated on a throne formed by stylized sheaves of wheat, his arms gently extended in blessing. Below, the scallop-shaped basin is integrated into the design. The reverse is impressed with the printed oval factory mark "P.

Porseleinen wijwaterbak met het Jezuskind, door Petrus Regout.
Petrus Regout & Co., Maastricht. Nederland, ca. 1860.
Witgeglazuurde porseleinen wijwaterbak met voorstelling van het Jezuskind, zittend op een troon gevormd door gestileerde korenschoven, met de armen zegenend uitgestrekt. Onder de figuur is een schelpvormig waterbakje geïntegreerd in het ontwerp. De achterzijde is gemerkt met het ovale fabrieksmerk “P. Regout, Ao 1836, Maastricht”, wat duidt op een vroege productie uit de fabriek van Petrus Regout.
23 cm. high.
Note:
Petrus Regout (1801–1878) was the founder of the first large-scale industrial ceramic factory in Maastricht, revolutionizing Dutch ceramics. Religious objects such as holy water fonts were a significant part of the firm's 19th-century production, catering to the growing Catholic middle class. The use of pure white porcelain reflects the influence of Continental and English ceramic styles on Maastricht production during the mid-19th century.
