Melitta 1950s Langenthal Ceramic Coffee Filter deals 102 (three holes)

A lovely Melitta 1950s white ceramic coffee filter 102 by Swiss company Langenthal.
At the front of the holder is the 'Melitta' signature in green colour along with the numer 102.

This is a very nice way to make coffee drinking a ritual, or to just enjoy calling an unique historic piece your own.

In 1908 Melitta Bentz patented the coffee filter and soon after started production of coffee filters, filter holders and coffee filter maschines. The filter was produced in seven different sizes, marked with the numbers from 100 to 106, to denote the different sizes. In the 1960s Melitta introduced with 1x2, 1x4 etc. a new size numbering system.

After the Second World War, between 1945 and c.1962 the Swiss ceramic company Langenthal produced coffee filters for Melitta. However it could only cover about five to seven percent of the actual demand.

It is a filter with three holes.
On the base the ceramic filter is marked with the Langenthal logo 'Suisse Langenthal xx', the number stands for the year of manufacture. There is also a mark which says “Patent 196601”.

Dimension: Diam.: 10cm-12.5cm with handle 15cm, H.: 11cm
Weight: 575g

It is in excellent vintage condition.
