Lot Details
with vacant cartouche. In good condition. 45gms. London 1789 by Hester Bateman (1708 - 1794). Interestingly, the HB mark is over another. Note: Although this work is a little later and it appears as her mark is over another: Bateman's early work disappeared into other silversmiths' inventories Between 1761 and 1774, very few pieces bear Hester's mark—not because she wasn't producing silver, but because she was fulfilling contracts for other silversmiths who overstamped her work with their own marks. Bateman is noted as a woman who turned adversity into opportunity, who couldn't write her own name but built a business empire, and who proved that innovation and excellence know no gender.
