介绍（中）	这个罕见的壶或水壶的例子是由Christopher Dresser为极具影响力的伯明翰Elkington&Co公司设计的一大组物体的一部分，该公司以1838年在英国获得第一个商业电镀专利而闻名。虽然以前被描述为"咖啡壶"，但手柄上没有象牙绝缘体表明该容器被设计为水壶或水壶，而不是容纳热液体。埃尔金顿的第二本设计书今天保存在伦敦的维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆，包括德莱瑟的二十四幅家用商品图纸，其中包括一张这个水壶的图纸。德莱塞银色的干净和几何线条使后人将他描述为原始现代主义者。他是一位多产且多才多艺的设计师，曾与几家英国公司合作，包括James Dixon & Sons和Hukin&Heath的银和玻璃，以及Wedgwood和Minton的陶瓷。
介绍（英）	This rare example of ewer or pitcher is part of a larger group of objects designed by Christopher Dresser for the highly influential Birmingham firm of Elkington & Co, famous for having patented the first commercial electroplating in England in 1838. Although previously described as “coffeepot,” the absence of ivory insulators on the handle suggest that this vessel was designed as a ewer or pitcher and not to hold hot liquids. Elkington’s second design book, preserved today at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, comprises twenty-four drawings for domestic wares by Dresser, including one for this pitcher. The clean and geometric lines of Dresser’s silver have led posterity to describe him as a proto-modernist. He was a prolific and versatile designer, who teamed up with several English companies, including James Dixon & Sons, and Hukin & Heath for silver and glass, as well as Wedgwood and Minton for ceramics.
