INDEX ALL SILVER

DESCRIPTION

Six good silver Old English pattern dessert spoons, each nicely crested. The terminals are very unusual being more pointed, almost like Celtic point, but not quite as pointed. I have never before seen this terminal on any Bateman silver. The last image shows one of these spoons, left, next to a standard Hester Bateman OEP spoon of the same year.
