Christopher Dresser Design? Silver Coffee/Hot Water Pot

[nilchen]

Dear Silver friends,

I just aquired this small Hot Water(?) pot.
It was made in London, 1896. The Reg. No: 250174 states it was designed in 1895.
The bottom is marked: 12511

The Maker is Middleton and Heath.

I like the mechanism, which I havent seen yet before. The Design looks a little like Dresser. Can anybody confirm this?
Many thanks

Mike

Hi, belatedly seen your post. Given that is in the 1890’s and for Heath and Middleton there is every chance it is Dresser but there seem to be no records to prove that. As an attribution many Dresser collectors would not accept it.
