Hukin & Heath (Dr. C. Dresser Style) – Silver-Plated Sugar Bowl and Sifting Spoon

£280

This silver-plated sugar bowl and matching sugar sifting spoon were produced by Hukin & Heath around 1880, designed in the style of Dr. Christopher Dresser, a leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement (1870 – 1890). The undulating rim and hemispherical form of the bowl contrast with the spoon’s elongated tapering handle, combining natural rhythm with industrial precision.

The partnership between Dresser and Hukin & Heath defined a modern vocabulary of domestic silverware, merging functional simplicity with sculptural surface treatment. The present pair illustrates that union through its fluid repoussé contours and restrained ornamentation, reflecting the designer’s interest in Japanese formal clarity and manufacturing efficiency.
