Sold
Table Spoon - London 1783 by Hester Bateman - 21cm long; 64g - PD/6132e
Hester Bateman has been dubbed "The Queen of English Silversmiths" and this Old English pattern table spoon bears a superb set of hallmarks including a fine example of her sought after "HB" in script maker's mark.
The spoon itself is also in fine condition with a contemporary to manufacture script initials with additional flourishes to the front terminal. It has a good solid weight and is an excellent example of Hester Bateman's work.
