Portrait of Christopher Dresser

Christopher Dresser is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

British designer Christopher Dresser shaped everyday objects in the 1880s Arts and Crafts movement. His Kettle, made around 1885 with copper and brass, shows clean lines and hammered textures meant to turn boiling water into a ritual. Look for the kettle’s flared spout and ridged body, practical details turned into quiet art. Next, tap the kettle to compare its hammered metal against the smooth curves of its matching teapot.
