Groep van zes transfergedecoreerde wijwaterbakken, door Petrus Regout.
Petrus Regout & Co., Maastricht. Nederland, ca. 1880–1900.
Zes witgeglazuurde aardewerken wijwaterbakken voor wandmontage, elk ovaal of schildvormig met doorboorde ophanggaten en gemodelleerde waterbakjes. Versierd in zwart transferdruk met devotionele voorstellingen, waaronder: Mater Dolorosa, het Heilig Hart met IHS-monogram, de eucharistische kelk, Agnus Dei, en een afbeelding van de bedevaartkerk te Kevelaer (Andenken von Kevelaer). Eén exemplaar is ongedecoreerd; de overige zijn afgewerkt met vergulde sterren of sierranden.
19 cm. high. and smaller
Note:
These ceramic wall-mounted fonts were produced in large numbers by Petrus Regout & Co. in Maastricht during the late 19th century for use in Catholic homes and pilgrimage souvenirs. Regout’s factory developed an extensive line of devotional wares—often using transfer decoration and molds designed for export across Catholic Europe. The motifs reflect central themes in Catholic piety: the Virgin of Sorrows, the Eucharist, and the Sacred Heart. Fonts bearing inscriptions such as Agnus Dei or pilgrimage dedications (Kevelaer) were especially popular among pilgrims and church patrons.
