Silver Sugar Nips by William Bateman

These elegantly formed sugar nips, or tea tongs, were crafted by the famed silversmith William Bateman. The piece is masterfully crafted with Bateman's renowned eye for detail, from the graceful neoclassical lines to the monogram "IR" carefully engraved on the action. Grandson of the celebrated Hester Bateman, William Bateman's creations continue the family's silversmithing legacy and epitomize the grace and elegance of the Georgian era.
