This Victorian kettle is fitted with a flush hinged hallmarked cover which retains the original and impressive sterling silver domed circular finial, the flush hinge indicates the high quality of the piece.

The formation of this exceptional example of Victorian silverware, crafted by the Edward Hutton of William Hutton & Sons, reflects the design and style of the collectable designer Christopher Dresser. Christopher dresser's geometric style was one of the most important and crucial influences of the late 19th century Aesthetic Movement, working in ceramics, glass, graphics metal and woven work. This movement followed a mythology of creating work which has a visual effect over the more traditional Victorian illustrative style.
