About the Item

This set of antique ceramic water filters was crafted in Provence, France, circa 1870. Originally designed as promotional display pieces for a French pharmacy, each vessel advertises the innovative “Filtre Pasteurisateur Mallié Porcelaine Damiante,” a 19th-century system for providing pure, filtered water to protect families from illness. Featuring a pale yellow glazed finish with molded relief text, each filter includes its original pewter spout and fitted ceramic lid. Versatile in function, they can also be repurposed as kitchen utensil holders, or lined to display fresh flowers or dried arrangements. Both pieces are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, showcasing a smooth, rich patina that enhances their authentic charm. Their understated elegance and historical appeal make them ideal for a French country kitchen or apothecary-inspired space. Larger one measures: Diameter 9.5" x Height 17.5" Smaller one measures: Diameter 8" x Height 15"
