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. |
