Staff Pick
Katie chose this piece for the June 2019 edition of Staff Picks. “Hester Bateman was a prominent female silversmith of the Georgian era. She was known for being the first in a long line of Bateman silversmiths. This cup is a wonderful gift for someone interested in this time period. This was made in 1785, but has survived beautifully.”
