The entry for this church in Svenska Kyrkan [https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/degeberga-everod/ostra-sonnarslovs-kyrka] [accessed 13 April 2026] informs that the baptismal font in this church is not uniform or original; the basin, made of darker and harder material, dates probably from before the 1250s and came originally from Västra Vram, where it was discarded during a renovation and used as a water trough for animals. The base of reddish sandstone decorated with a leaf pattern was probably made by the Tove Stenmästare around the year 1200: "Dopfunten är ett oenhetligt verk. Foten av rödaktig sandsten dekorerad med ett bladmönster är troligen gjord av Tove Stenmästare omkring år 1200. Cuppan, som är av mörkare och hårdare material, har knappats tillkommit före 1250-talet. Den kommer ursprungligen från Västra Vram, där den kasserats vid en renovering och användes till vattenho åt djur. Någon uppmärksammade cuppan och förstod vad det var djuren drack ur. Stenen räddades från sitt öde och placerades i Östra Sönnarslövs kyrka."
The entry for the church at Västra Vram in the Swedish Wikipedia [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Västra_Vrams_kyrka] [accessed 13 April 2026] reports a 17th-century wooden font of oak with a 16th-century brass baptismal dish. The same entry informs that a baptismal font of stone from the medieval church here stood unused for a time until it was moved to the church at Östra Sönnarslöv, where it still remains: "Den nuvarande dopfunten av ek dateras till 1600-talet. Den har ett dopfat från 1500-talet i mässing. Dopfatet innehåller bilder med motiv från dråpet i Efraims skog. Den ska då ha ersatt den romanska stendopfunten. Stendopfunten stod sedan oanvänd, fram till en tid efter byggandet av den nya kyrkan då den flyttades till Östra Sönnarslövs kyrka. Där står den kvar." [cf. Font ID: 26311EWB record for the Västra Vrams Kyrka and its present font]
