Collection of 20th century Holy Water fonts, examples of Irish domestic art and piety
"This is a unique collection, demonstrating irish domestic piety and decoration in the 20th century, almost all are imported yet every Catholic home had one until the decline of the Catholic church circa 1990. By the early 21st century they had disappeared from almost every home. The social class of the home they decorated is easily discernible by the quality and cost of the item. "
