Berkefeld Water filter Crock

[PAPickers]

Hello again everyone. While I collect bottles, my parents have always had a thing for Crocks. They recently decided that a lot of them are just collecting dust and we dont need all of them. While we were able to find most of them online and get an idea of value, this one has us stumped. The company is British Berkefeld. They are still in business today under a different owner and still make ceramic water filters. However, we cant seem to find one similar to ours to get a good estimate on the value. the two I was able to find were from 1947 and the 1950s. The one we have seems to be quite a bit newer than those. I would guess it if maybe 60's or 70's but I have no idea. I know they are not bottles, but Im sure there is someone on here who might have some idea of what era it is from and what the value might be. Any response is greatly appreciated, thank you.

It is also a triple filter.

The spigot as well as the filters still seem to work fine. everything is very clean, I haven't notices any chips or cracks at all.

UPDATE: There is some form of chipping or cracking on the inside of the Glazing, I think it either the inside of glazing that is flaking or possibly the clay, Im not sure. I may have pictures here in a moment.

I seem to remember an English site that focused on the water crocks but I can't find it now, sorry.Those are nice pieces of stoneware.
