Hi Everyone! I CAN'T believe that I just found this forum AFTER a year of searching out information on this Dixon tilting water kettle that I purchased .. By Accident!! Moon Maiden, I have a similar problem on dating my kettle as you do. On the bottom of the kettle, all it has is D*S I had No idea that this was a Dixon piece until I wrote to a gentleman at the Silvervault in London. He seemed very excited and had me send close-up pictures of the bottom and of the ivory and pins in the handle. He confirmed that it was Dixon and true Sheffield Plate but, he couldn't give me a date. I am not even sure if this is Dixon and Smith or Dixon and Son. The curator said that the piece looked Alot like a Paul Storr design. I have pictures if anyone is interested and I Think that I saved the letter from the curator. I am so happy to have found this forum. Thank You MC P.S. There are some numbers on the base too. A 3 above the D*S and 1213 below the D*S
