Palissy [ref.: PM23000876] notes and illustrates a 1676 holy-water stoup that may have been originally a grain measure: "Bénitier [granite] accolé au mur nord et reposant sur un socle grossièrement parallélépipédique, qui porte des traces d'outils sur son côté droit. Cuve de forme circulaire, dont la partie inférieure est grossièrement épannelée en pans coupés. […] Cette cuve de bénitier datée 1676 pourrait être une mesure à grains réemployée." The date inscribed on the basin side need not refer to the date of the original object, but to the time when it was turned to use as a stoup; it is quite likely that the chamfering of the underbowl was also done at the time, perhaps intended to raise the bowl on a less inelegant base.
