A fantastic antique water filter by Slack and Brownlow of Canning Works, Manchester. With the origin of the firm dating back to 1830, this example dates to around 1890 when the company were operating out of Canning Works, Manchester. They specialised in water filters, later for use of troops in the field at which time they moved to Tonbridge to be closer to the docks for export. Made from salt glaze pottery and with hold for 'tap' towards the bottom. These salvaged pots now make grerat garden planters and are a a perfect sustainable piece for the home. A quirky period item, perfect to add soul and character to any modern space. 
Condition
