Ceramic Wall Cross with Christ Relief - Kunsthandel Potters Breda - ca. 1950-1970

Vintage ceramic wall cross featuring a relief depiction of the crucified Christ.

The entire cross is crafted as a single ceramic relief and finished with a warm cream-beige glaze. The recessed lines around the figure of Christ, the halo, and the INRI inscription give the depiction additional depth and clearly highlight the details.

Two old labels have been preserved on the back. The red label comes from Kunsthandel Potters on Ginnekenstraat in Breda, a well-known Breda-based art dealer with a history dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. There is also a black-and-silver manufacturer's or studio mark on the back. The maker of this mark has not been identified.

A characteristic example of post-war Catholic wall decoration, suitable as a religious collectible or as a subtle vintage wall object.
