The Zeeuws Museum site [https://www.zeeuwsmuseum.nl/nl/collectie/geschiedenis-en-archeologie/g2761-kuip-van-een-doopvont-achtkantig-afkomstig-van-een-kerk-in-vlissingen] [accessed 25 February 2022] lists the basin of a baptismal font made of limestone originally from Vlissingen; no date given for the font but it came into the museum in 1896 [="Kuip van een doopvont achtkantig afkomstig van een kerk in Vlissingen [...] hardsteen [...] hoogte: 42.5 cm; diameter: 59 cm"]. The present baptismal font is one of metal and of post-Reformation design, attached to the base of the pulpit: "De doopvont bestaat uit een zilveren doopbekken, dat wordt geplaatst in de koperen doopbekkenhouder die aan de voet van de preekstoel is bevestigd. De versieringen zijn 18e eeuws, in de zg. Louis XVI-stijl. Aan de binnenkant prijkt het wapen van Cornelis Lampsins.

A further communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 6 April 2022) noted: "The museum acquired the basin in 1895 for the price of 3,5 Dutch Guilders from the local stone mason G. Overwerk. Because the diameter is only 59 cm, I suspect that this is the basin of a stoup. The height is 42,5 cm." The communication included three photographs of the 14th-century(?) basin as stored in the museum [cf. ImagesArea], courtesy of Nienke Jelles, Medewerker registratie, Zeeuws Museum.
