Where to get statues?

Hello there everyone šŸ™‚

During recent days, Iā€™ve found myself particularly interested in statues of the saints and the Blessed Mother. Not the big ones you find in churches or in peopleā€™s gardens, both rather the devotional-size ones, between 6 and 10 inches tall rather than those over 30 inch ones.

Is there anyone here who might advise on where I could get them, most preferably made in or dispatched from Europe, as I want to avoid huge shipping costs from the US here to Germany. There are some Church suppliers around here, but the selection seems to be rather limited. Iā€™m quite picky about themā€¦ for example I prefer them to have that ā€œsmoothā€ look to them, which I suppose is not achieved wood but rather fibreglass.

Hereā€™s an example of what I mean: http://www.pilgrimgifts.co.uk/userfiles/file/TT60431.jpg
Iā€™ve come to love this type of statueā€¦ itā€™s beautiful. šŸ™‚

If anyone can help me with where to get one here in Europe (or low shipping cost ones from America), that would be most appreciated. šŸ™‚

Thanks!

Iā€™ve checked Cenacle, although I havenā€™t found the perfect one yet. But Iā€™ll go back there later.

EWTN religious catalogue is fantastic, they have really wonderful ones! šŸ™‚ If it werenā€™t for 40$ shipping + tax/duty (which I have no idea about), Iā€™d order right away.

Thanks so far, but maybe some other people have more ideas. šŸ™‚

Itā€™s that very same $40 tax/duty that prevents me from buying from them as well. Anyhow, good luck.

Since you are in Europeā€¦if you know some who are taking trips abroad, try having have someone get them for you.

The pic you postedā€¦is that the Holy Infant of Prague?

Another idea you might explore isā€¦there are a lot of pilgrimage sites in Europeā€¦Fatima, Lourdesā€¦have you tried their websites?

Indeed, it is the Holy Infant of Prague šŸ™‚

Thanks for the suggestion, I didnā€™t think about that!
 
I followed up the idea of checking the pilgrimage websites in Europe, but no luck there. They either donā€™t have a shop or they donā€™t carry the ones I want šŸ˜¦

Iā€™ve decided that EWTN Religious Catalogue would probably be the best place to go, although there are massive shipping costs and 19% tax at customs. Maybe that will be my choice then. šŸ™‚
