In answer to a query about 1930s kitchen equipment in Hong Kong, here is a 1924 ad for Cheavin's water filters. It is actually no different in design to the water filter that my parents had in their kitchen on their Ceylon tea plantation in the 1950s. I'm sure other people of my vintage will recall these as well.
