Therefore, unlike other makers who believed in the power of the handmade, Dresser thought it necessary to work with industrial manufacturers and use machines, to disseminate ‘good’ design as cheaply and therefore as widely as possible. His trips to Japan inspired a subsequent clean­cut, linear style that he applied to a range of media, creating objects that proved to be some of the most radical and influential of the final decades of the nineteenth century. His sleek and geometric metalwork anticipated modernism, combining a stark and attractive functionality for users with an emphasis on form and silhouette rather than surface decoration, which allowed it to be made more easily by various manufacturers, including those seen here. This sugar basin and its spoon were made by the firm of Hukin & Heath, which had been founded in 1855 by Jonathan Wilson Hukin and John Thomas Heath. Hukin retired in 1881 and was replaced by John Hartshorne Middleton. The attribution of the design to Christopher Dresser is uncertain. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-107687 adlib-term-107687 61b7b4a0-65d8-3856-9253-f53f17d65f43 literal England England country Birmingham reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver reference media-206165 adlib-media-206165 383d815c-e6c8-302e-8169-f1b0e6576a78 jpeg aa/aa37/large_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 838 width pixels 1024 1616249016613 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 409 width pixels 500 1616249016613 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_2_20_26_20A_1998_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 839 width pixels 1025 1616249016613 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 205 width pixels 250 1616249016613 1 image 0 media image reference media-206166 adlib-media-206166 32c77548-50e1-3b71-95ca-6afcb49afde6 jpeg aa/aa37/large_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_2_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 879 width pixels 1024 1616248021908 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_2_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 429 width pixels 500 1616248021908 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_2_20_26_20A_1998_2_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 927 width pixels 1080 1616248021908 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_2_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 215 width pixels 250 1616248021908 1 image 1 media image reference media-206167 adlib-media-206167 ebb41408-2b25-3ec0-8a91-a178ea7d272e jpeg aa/aa37/large_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_3_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 864 width pixels 1024 1616284183345 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_3_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 422 width pixels 500 1616284183345 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_2_20_26_20A_1998_3_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 911 width pixels 1080 1616284183345 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_2_20_26_20A_1998_3_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 211 width pixels 250 1616284183345 1 image 2 media image reference media-111321 adlib-media-111321 8062f5dd-5a8a-3ec7-85d6-08deb6a8e620 jpeg aa/aa20/M_2_20_26_20A_1998.jpg 1 height pixels 576 width pixels 760 1616263188853 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_M_2_20_26_20A_1998.jpg 1 height pixels 379 width pixels 500 1616263188853 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_2_20_26_20A_1998.jpg 1 height pixels 576 width pixels 760 1616263188853 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_2_20_26_20A_1998.jpg 1 height pixels 189 width pixels 249 1616263188853 1 image 3 media image reference media-2390433383 portfolio portfolio-media-2390433383 84865a95-8166-3eaf-b146-174434edf97f jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/507/932/large_M_2___A_1998_200708_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 776 width pixels 1024 1529373947000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/507/932/mid_M_2___A_1998_200708_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 379 width pixels 500 1529373947000 1 image M.2 & A-1998_200708_mfj22_mas.jpg 1529373947000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/507/932/preview_M_2___A_1998_200708_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 189 width pixels 249 1529373947000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/507/932/M_2___A_1998_200708_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 2912 width pixels 3844 1529373947000 1 image 4 media image reference term-90927 adlib-term-90927 49ef229c-e633-3532-9eb4-bd3351489f05 sugar bowl reference term-125854 adlib-term-125854 5aca6ebd-8488-309e-bd2b-eb9f5d94f68a sugar sifter spoon history note Fine Art Society, 148 Bond Street, London, W1Y 0JT 1 reference object-72701 adlib-object-72701 1e9b5365-29de-3c8c-9d9e-b8946ac0aba7
