Kettle 1880 - 1890

This copper kettle, designed by Christopher Dresser between 1880 and 1890, is a prime example of the Aesthetic Movement in design. Dresser's work is characterized by its emphasis on form and function, evident in the kettle's simple yet elegant shape, and the use of natural materials like copper and brass. This kettle was a product of the late Victorian era, a time of rapid industrialization, and reflects a growing appreciation for handcrafted objects. It stands as a testament to Dresser's influential role in shaping the design trends of his time.
