Coffee pot
Hester Bateman
Hallmarked London, 1789

This exceptional late 18th-century coffee pot is a stunning example of Hester Bateman's craftsmanship, showcasing the refined sensibility that earned her the title "Queen of Silver." The pot features a traditional pear shape, complemented by a high domed cover with beaded edges, a delicate acorn finial and a finely crafted wooden handle. The spout is adorned with intricate beading, while the body is delicately engraved with a monogram surrounded by delicate vines, reflecting Georgian sensibilities and Bateman's distinctive feminine touch. The overall lightweight elegance of the coffee pot is characteristic of Bateman's work.

Hester Bateman was a trailblazing silversmith who took over her family’s business in 1760, becoming one of the most respected figures in Georgian silver. Her innovative approach and meticulous attention to detail ensured the workshop's success until her retirement in 1790. This coffee pot, once part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, embodies Bateman’s signature style, combining functional design with sophisticated ornamentation that reflects the height of Georgian refinement.
