Very specific search for altar item

[Carla]

I am searching for a statue of Our Lady of Grace, no higher than 16 cm, in a wood-look or bronze effect finish. It's the size that is the problem--the ones I can find are gigantic! But I want her to be relative in size to other items on my small altar.

Could anyone help??

This one is my favorite, but it's huge: http://forbiddenpath.co.uk/Madonna-99.5cm-Bronze-Effect-Figurine-P1936312.aspx I like how the forward-thrust chest and raised thigh give it a more 'goddess' feel than some other images I've found. But it's 99.5cm high!!!

Here is Our Lady in a similar pose, but without the raised thigh, and it is 18.4cm high, a bit more than your limit, and you would have to pay for international shipping.

here is a ten inch - assuming you are flexible on size.

Here is a smaller one that holds water...

I think it is the bronze that is making it harder to find. How about a white or stone look one?

Have you tried typing 'Our Lady Statue' into ebay? Loads come up.

Yes. Most of them are too tall. doh!

I am open to stone or other finish, but not with lots of colour and fine detail. Don't like those so much.

Thanks for helping!!!

Well, I ordered this one. http://www.inhisname.com/images/statues/15520_6inOurLadyGrace_60686.jpg

I decided she had to be 6" or less and of the ones I could find of that size, this one was the most appealing to me.

I don't see the statue, your link only shows the website name. Glad you found something, though! I was coming here to post a 10" French statue that was on etsy....but that probably would have been too big anyway.

How does this one work: http://www.leafletonline.com/images/18641_W.jpg

She's 6" tall, so should fit right in with the other things on my altar. Looking forward to receiving!

oh, Carla, that one is really beautiful, very serene - and very "earth goddess", considering she is standing on the planet..."Our Lady of Grace" is the one "inside" Mary statue that I don't have - except for one little bitty ceramic one. I have larger size concrete Lady of Grace outside. I've been looking and looking for a smaller one, but have yet to come across one in the right price range that I like, as I mostly shop vintage. Here is one I saw on Etsy today, it's an old chalkware, and the face is really pretty (some of the faces are not). The price is right - now I am waiting to hear back from the seller about how big (looks about 10") and other details - like I think one hand looks chipped. As for any surface defects, like the dark spot on her neck, I can touch that up with paint. I like the older chippy look.

(look at the sidebar pics, the main one shows 3 different statues)

I really don't need another Mary - but what the heck. She's good to have around I also have a small collection of "half" Mary's - maybe 15, or 20....vintage planters and statues that are only her from the waist up. They were popular mothers day florist containers in the 40s, 50s, 60s...I might have a pic somewhere of the shelf I keep them on....

Bhavana, she's lovely!!
