This pitcher was designed by Christopher Dresser for Hukin & Heath (1855-1953). The firm was established by Jonathan Wilson Hukin and John Thomas Heath as manufacturing silversmiths and electroplaters. They entered silver marks in London in 1879. The firm's collaboration with Dresser was noted by 'The Art Journal' in 1879. Hukin & Heath's trademark comprised the initials 'H & H' with an eagle; they registered designs by Dresser from 1878 until at least 1881, and the models were produced into the early 1900s.
