Lipscombe Stoneware Water Filter WF5
Original, quality late 19th century buff coloured stoneware water filter with the original lid and tap and white ceramic applied decoration.

The stoneware tap is impressed "Doulton Lambeth" and is perfect but the lid has some chips and one chunk has been glued back on it. The inner filter section is missing, but otherwise all is complete albeit with minor faults as described.
