Water Well Wire Framed 2024 Dated 1884 Antique

We have a Wire Framed Water Well Marked Dated 1884 Antique Item. It is a twisted wire frame holding a ceramic rectangular removable well (inside measuring about 4 7/8" x 1 3/8" x 3" in H). The full piece measures about 11 3/4" in H x 5 1/4" in W x 2 1/4" in D all outside measurements. It is marked on the bottom "Wire Frame Water Well A. A. W. Patented June 17, 1884". It will hold water however the ceramic has grazing throughout with 2024 hairline cracks and 3 places where the ceramic has chunks missing (the larges shown in my photo being about 5/8" x 1/4" on the top back). The metal has very slight rust here and there. Overall for it's age this is a charming piece.
