Slack & Brownlow Stoneware Water Filter WF4

Original, quality late 19th century glazed stoneware water filter with side handles, the original lid and applied white ceramic decoration of banner shaped mounts, fern leaves and feathers. The banner mounts are impressed with the detail of the manufacturer "Slack & Brownlow Canning Works, Manchester, Established 1880 and Compressed Charcoal Filter". Two tiny rim chips, not visible when lid is on and requiring a tap to the front, otherwise all is complete and in good order and probably would still work. A charming very small example.
