Figural Wall Pocket

This is a figural wall pocket or holy water container made by Augarten during the mid 20th century. Not a model I ahve come across before it is of Veronica holding the sweat cloth in front of her which forms the vase part of the figurine. The head of Jesus with the crown of thorns is on the front of it. The lady is very well modeled with a pink dress and white cloth. A nice piece originally made in the mid 18th century by the Royal Vienna factory and redone by Augarten when they first opened. The figure is 9.25 inches tall, about 2.25 inches deep and about 6.875 inches wide. Marked underneath with the blue shield with the crown on top as well as the word Wien underneath, Made in Austria impressed as well as impressed are the number 1005 and letter R and the black painter's number 31 as shown. Two holes in the back for hanging on the wall. The piece is in perfect condition. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $349
