Christopher Dresser Signed Silver-plate c.1880 Teapot Deco Style

Designed by Christopher Dresser (born in Glasgow, 1834, died in Mulhouse, France, 1904). This is a beautiful and quite amazing piece of history, way ahead of it\'s time with an Art Deco style design made in 1880! Beautiful 9\" long x 7\" tall angular style silver plated teapot with an ebony handle, marked to the side DESIGNED BY Dr C. DRESSER over a lozenge shaped makers mark. Overall the silver plate is in excellent condition, the interior is also in good clean condition and the lid opens and closes freely. Christopher Dresser designed utilitarian objects for the general public, making full use of the latest techniques of mass production, and he is therefore often regarded as the \'father of industrial design\'. His most innovative designs were for objects to be made in metal. Unlike his designs for ceramics and glass, which often resemble plant forms in their shape, ornamentation or colouring, his designs for metalwork objects tend to be fully abstracted from their organic source. He frequently employed symmetrical, rectilinear shapes and undecorated surfaces. This design appears in the costing book of James Dixon & Sons for 1879 as design no. 2274 and is described as \'English Japanese\', pointing to the Japanese influence in some of Dresser\'s most radical metalwork designs.I have two Christopher Dresser signed silver-plate tea pots that I picked up from an estate sale, each is being offered separately (please see my other sales).
