Founded in 1875, Hukin and Heath had a close association with Dr Christopher Dresser throughout the firm's short life. While some of the earlier pieces are marked with Dresser's name this practice was dropped and so we are left to judge whether a piece reflects his revolutionary taste and vision. The starkly elegant piece offered here is fifty years ahead of its time.

Buyer pays postage at cost (INSURED SIGNED-FOR WITH TRACKING). Postage has been worked out for an estimated insured value and packed weight. Postage might turn out to be less but will not be more. A surplus will be refunded.
Surface mail is an economical and "green" option I offer but it can take two months to destinations outside Europe.
Q. Combined shipping?
A. Yes; when there is a saving to be made! With International Signed For services this is not straightforward; multiple small packages can, in total, cost less to ship than one large one which equals the small ones' combined weights.
