Foy & Gibson / (Unofficial Australian Coat of Arms) / Collingwood. No potters stamp. Household Water Filter Straight sided cylinder. White Glaze. 3 Gallon. 480 mm (approx. with lid). 1890s
Very Good. The filter and lid has been painted green at some stage but most of the paint has been removed from the outside of the filter and the rest is flaking off pretty easily. There is a cracked area around and under the back base. Handles and decoration are in good shape. Upper ribbon has a couple of folds and joins from manufacture. A couple of flake chips from the slab seals. Original lid has a chip on one side to the rim with a small hairline from it. Great looking Melbourne filter that will be superb with more of a clean. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $150 - 200
