A Desirable Set of 5 Silver Hester Bateman Teaspoons

A rare set of five silver teaspoons by the great Hester Bateman These lovely Georgian examples are in Hanverian pattern and are bottom marked (hallmarks close to the back of the bowl - pre 1781.)

To the backs there is the Maker's mark and the Sterling Lion. No date letter or Town mark, in keeping the early marks on teaspoons.To the top back of the shank are three marriage initials H above W E

Certain spoons are getting scarce nowadays, due to the great losses caused by the unscrupulous melting of antique silver for scrap and sadly, flatware is one of it's biggest victims. A set of five from a sought after Maker is a good find for the collector. Dimensions below.
