- Lot Description
AMERICAN SHEPARD & SUMNER, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA CERAMIC WATER FILTER, comprising the bottom portion of a three-piece filtration "system", cylindrical form with drilled hole to bottom and two horizontal applied acanthus leaf handles, embossed acanthus leaves decoration to rim with "SUCCESS FILTER / PATENTED / Shepard & Sumner / NEW ORLEANS" to front, having four rows of alternating blue transfer fleur de lis and rosettes, and embossed scroll and flower design below. Edwin Bennett Pottery Company, Baltimore, MD. Circa 1890. 12 1/4" H, 10 3/4" D.
Catalogue Note: An article in The Sanitarian journal for January 1894 summarized items exhibited at the 1892/1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago that featured Sanitation and Sanitary Appliances. An excerpt from a section on "Household Filters" described the Success Filter made by Shepard & Sumner from New Orleans, LA. The ceramic cylinder featured in this lot would house a hollow block of natural Tripoli stone. The stone served as natural water filter. Dirt and sediments that were filtered out would settle to the bottom of the container and thus provide clean drinking water.
The Smithsonian Institute houses a complete three-piece Shepard & Sumner water filtration "system" in their collection (Acc. #1986.0446). To view, follow this link: Success Filter.Condition
Very good condition, having two chips to underside base and two rim hairlines, one only appearing to go through to each side, and having some staining and glaze crazing to interior from use.
- Provenance
From the estate collection of Katharine "Kitty Sue" Pease, Los Angeles, CA.
