An entry in the Jaarboek van Limburgs Geschied- en Oudheidkundliche Genootschap (vol. 5, 1868: 458), listed under the heading "Voici quelques données concernant des actes de vandalisme qui se commettent encore de nos jours dans le Limbourg aux fonts baptismaux", notes: "A Itteren, prés de Maestricht, l'ancien font baptismal sert de réservoir d'eau sous une gouttière de la cure. Le même phénomène s'observe à Moulingen, où l'ancien font gît brisé sur le cimetière. Tous les deux sont à réparer et à replacer dans les églises." The present font may be 17th- or 18th-century, and has a 19th-century metal [copper?] font cover. The old font reported at the rectory garden ca. 1868 [cf. supra] has disappeared.
A communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 10 March 2022) provided the following sources related to the font here:
1) Publications de la Société Historique et Archéologique dans le duché de Limbourg. Thome 5 (1868)– Jaarboek van Limburgs Geschied- en Oudheidkundig Genootschap, informs that In Itteren near Maestricht, the old baptismal font serves as a water reservoir under a gutter of the vicarage.
2) GESCHIEDENIS VAN NOORDBRABANT Door Peter Norbertus Panken te Bergeik, vernieuwd en gerangschikt, 1898, Stichting Cultureel Brabant (CuBra), gedigitaliseerd door Johan Biemans: At Itteren near Maastricht the old baptismal font is a water trough under a gutter of the rectory.
3) Het Duvelke uit het Zuiden, by Flament, 1918: At Itteren the baptismal font has been stepped under a gutter of the rectory as a water reservoir. I saw it there in the reported year 1868.
