Royle's Patent Toilet Aquarius

"'Royle's Patent Toilet Aquarius', earthenware, Doulton Burslem, England, c. 1891. An old advertisement from 1891 (pictured) shows a Toilet Aquarius, a new patented water container for wash stands where no muscular effort required. The water flows into the basin by simply pulling forward the handle. No lifting of a heavy jug. A Boon to Ladies and Invalids. A trouble-saver to Strong Men. The newly patented device is endorsed by the famous theatre actress, Phyllis Broughton."
