5.75" x 2.75" x 1.25" (from wall to front of basin)
 
This vintage holy water font, marked “Germany” on the reverse, is a beautiful example of mid-20th century Catholic devotional art. Featuring a wall-mounted crucifix with trefoil-tipped ends and a finely cast corpus of Christ, it includes a smooth, reflective metal basin in the shape of a shell—symbolic of baptism and spiritual cleansing.
 
Crafted from silvertone metal with crisp detailing and subtle woodgrain texture on the cross, this piece was likely made for export in the 1930s–1950s, during a time when German religious goods were prized for their high quality and reverent craftsmanship.
 
Ideal for a home altar, sacred space, or entryway blessing, this font is both a practical vessel for holy water and a meaningful piece of liturgical heritage. A perfect gift for any occasion.
