From Wiki: Christopher Dresser (4 July 1834 – 24 November 1904) was a British designer and design theorist, now widely known as one of the first and most important independent designers. He was a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a major contributor to the allied Anglo-Japanese or Modern Style (British Art Nouveau style), both of which originated in England and had long-lasting international influence.
Why We Love It: We love anything by Dresser. His pivotal work remains a breath of fresh air to traditional English household furnishings.
Condition: The pitcher could benefit from a polishing. Also there are a few tiny dents and dings to the sides as pictured. Otherwise solid and still very usable.
