| Object history | Part of a service. The design for this service was registered on 25th April 1880. Christopher Dresser, who worked with a number of manufacturing silversmiths including Elkingtons, was almost unique in his understanding of industrial technique and the possibilities it could open up for new initiatives in design. His style of simple, functional shapes mixed with a Japanese aesthetic influence did not prove popular with consumers who preferred to purchase re-workings in historic taste such as rococo or classical design. |
