Obermorschwihr / Capella in Morswilre / Morsvilare [disappeared?]

There are three objects that may be, or may have been used as baptismal fonts; two of them are in the room used as baptistery: one is made of metal, a bucket-shaped basin with two handles and raised on three metal legs joined by a brace; it has a spout at the bottom of the basin, it and the curvature of the brace appear to indicate that it was meant to be drained often; it has a conical cover, also metallic, with an orb-and-cross finial; the second font in the baptistery is made of stone, a poligonal [octagonal?] basin with rounded underbowl partially decorated with ribs or gadroons [is it unfinished?]; raised on a moulded cylindrical stem and a narrow square lower base, a font design characteristic of the 17th or 18th century; it has a metal(?) low piramidal cover of eight sides; ball finial. The third object is urn-shaped, tall and slender, and appears to be made of marble; it has a stone cover, also of marble, with a ball finial [it is not clear whether or not this urn was ever had baptismal functions]. Neither of them correspond to either the 10th or the 12th century [cf. infra] [NB: we have no information on the medieval baptismal font here; the church itself dates originally from the 10th century, with the tower being added in the 12th]
