Makers mark for Hester Bateman of London, circa 1782,34cm long.HESTER BATEMAN (1709-1794) was the most famous 18th century English female silversmith. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Nedem. She married in 1732 the goldsmith John Bateman. It is believed John never held a formal apprenticeship, which is why many Bateman pieces had been contracted out to talented craftsmen. Following her husbands death in 1761, Hester registered her mark at Goldsmiths Hall on April 16, 1761, as Hester Bateman in Bunnhill Row and this mark was used until 1790.$4006001716'
