A pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement, Christopher Dresser was a leading designer in 19th Century England with global influence, whose works are today exhibited in museums all over the world, including The Met and The V&A.
This earthenware butter keeper was produced to his design in the Wedgwood potteries and features an attached saucer and a perfectly-fitted lid, hallmarks of his genius for elegant design based on principles of Truth, Beauty, and Power. Also perfect for jam, relish, or a keeper of small, valuable objects.
