Baptismal laverA laver is a large basin used for washing. This silver baptismal laver from Greyfriars Church was remade in 1707-8 by Walter Scott, a silversmith in Edinburgh. The original laver was possibly made by Edinburgh silversmith Andrew Burrell in 1649. The straight-sided silver laver has a trumpet and cushion foot and a hinged lid. Acts of Parliament of 1617 ruled that each church must acquire communion silver. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
