Christopher Dresser was the first significant industrial designer in Victorian England. About 50 years after he desgined this teakettle, architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner included an illustration of it in a 1937 issue of The Architectural Review, helping to establish Dresser as a harbinger of 20th-century modernism.
