Communion flagon

Add to album

This pewter communion flagon comes from the Associate Congregation Church of Coupar Angus in Perthshire. It dates from 1818.

The flagon is engraved with the inscription 'Assote. Congregation Coupar Angus 1818'.

The Associate Congregation was one of the groups that broke from the established Church of Scotland at the original secession in 1733. Secessions and the Disruption of 1843 increased the need for communion cups, basins and lavers.
