A beautiful reminder of a Mother’s love. ❤️ This lovely vintage plaque depicts Our Blessed Mother holding the Child Jesus close, their ivory-colored figures set against a soft blue background.
A colorful raised border of fruit and green foliage surrounds them—a charming design in the Della Robbia tradition. The glossy finish and sculpted details make this a lovely addition to a prayer corner or a welcoming wall in your Catholic home.
From a now-closed nuns’ convent, this devotional treasure bears the handwritten notation “Italy 1968” on the reverse, adding another lovely detail to its history.

PS: Vintage Italian Della Robbia-style Madonna and Child wall plaques are highly collectible pieces of religious art, valued both for their historical aesthetic and their sacred provenance when sourced from closed convents or monasteries. This classic style emulates the 15th-century Renaissance masterworks of Luca and Andrea della Robbia, known for their signature high-relief white glazed figures set against vibrant blue backdrops and framed by colorful fruit or floral garlands. Depending on the age, material (traditional majolica ceramic vs. mid-century compositions), and specific maker, these plaques generally command up to over $200!
