Outstanding small size water filter, unsure if this could possibly have been used practically as a filter or (more likely) a travelling salesmans sample. Very dark, shiny, brown salt glaze, ill fitting lid? Spectacularly emblazoned with decorative sprigs, top rim of base slab reads ESTABLISHED 1829, main centre slab H BRIDDON & COS/ FILTER/ BARKER POTTERIES/ CHESTERFIELD, sprig above metal spigot (original?) LONDON DEPOT/ MIDLAND RAILWAY/ ST PANCRAS. Lions head side handles. Utterly gorgeous!
