Hester Bateman Silver Brandy Warmer

Hester Bateman's eye for elegance is displayed in this sterling silver brandy warmer. Crafted in a well-balanced baluster form, this single-handled pot was used to warm brandy, which was done to release the different flavors and aromas of the spirit. A turned, wooden handle provides insulation from the heat, completing this attractive and functional design.

Hester Bateman is celebrated both for her success as a businesswoman in the male-dominated silversmith trade and for the unquestionable influence of her timeless designs on English silver. From the attention to form and line to its splendid proportions, this warmer serves as a perfect example of the quality craftsmanship found in every piece of Bateman silver.
