{HISTORY}

We don't often carry religious art here in the shop, but when it comes to vintage Mary Madonna and her universally maternal symbolism, she's a natural fit for the kitchen where tender love and care always rule the day and the appetite.

Made in Japan by Chase Ceramics, this vintage handpainted Mary Madonna is both a standalone statue and a wall hanging offering quite a few possibilities for wall art or shelf display.

Elegant and serene, Mary Madonna and her baby Jesus are beautifully painted with red, lips, peachy pale skin and strawberry blonde hair. Wrapped in the palest of grey-blue head scarves, this ceramic statue features a lovely combination of colors that is neutral enough for year round display but also especilaly pretty at Christmas and Easter time when paired with pale pastels and Scandinavian decor. 

Dating to the mid-20th century, we like this Mary Madonna best on the mantel with a collection of candles, greenery, and other similar statues for an eye-catching display. But thanks to her shiny ceramic glaze, she also looks quite beautiful next to all-white dishware collections in a cupboard, adding touches of peace and grace to decorated areas in the kitchen.
