They were active in in Newall Street and Imperial Works, 139 Great Charles Street, Birmingham. The firm's association with Christopher Dresser began in 1877; the first registered design dates from 1878, and others were entered up to 1881. Dresser's designs were launched at the opening of the firm's showrooms in Charterhouse Street in August 1879. In 1904 the business was converted under the style of Hukin & Heath Ltd. The company closed in 1953. Found a spoon marked CRESCINA (possibly a trade mark). According to an author, John Heath used an oval or circle stamp around the trade mark to distinguish from electro-plated and nickel of other makers. The marks below (spread-winged bird into a circle with H&H into squares, conjoined circles or 'Old English' fonts) don't correspond and could be attributable to Hukin & Heath only presumptively.
