Height: 44.5cm

A finely modelled vintage bisque figure depicting Saint Joseph holding the Christ Child, rendered in soft naturalistic tones with delicate hand-painted detailing.

Saint Joseph is shown carrying a flowering staff—symbolic of purity and his role as guardian—while the Child holds a small orb, representing dominion over the world.

The figure features gentle facial expressions, flowing robes accented in muted cream and lilac tones, and subtle floral detailing to the garments and base.

Crafted in bisque porcelain, the surface has a matte, velvety finish that enhances the refined sculptural quality of the piece.

Set upon a shaped base with painted floral motifs, this is a classic devotional figure, well suited to collectors of religious statuary or those seeking a traditional Christian display piece.
