West country witches pay great attention to the water source of the water used in the preparation of their potions and tonics. So wells and springs of long standing reputation of having spiritual virtues, be they pagan or Christian, are favoured, one such being Scarlet's well in Bodmin town. This pitcher was the one used by Nell Parsons to collect her water from this well of high curative reputation. (Text by Cecil Williamson)
