Victorian Era Cheavin Stoneware Water Filter

These ceramic filters, popular in the Victorian era, purified water by passing it through a layer of charcoal. The stoneware container features a prominent "Cheavin's World Renowned Filter" label in black typography. It is a collectible item typically used for decoration in modern homes. Similar filters are cared for in museum collections, such as the Whangārei Museum in New Zealand. In good condition, there is one small chip on the lid as shown in pictures.
