A 1785 Hester Bateman George III Silver Teapot. Oval form with empty cartouche to side. Minimalist geometric decoration with a quality to form replacement wood handle at side and top. A straight conical spout. Overall in good condition with no major issues but please see photos. 25cm length. 14cm highest point. 427g total weight. Hallmarks for London 1785. Makers mark of Hester Bateman - Please see below for brief biography.Hester Bateman (1708 - 1794) known as "the Queen of British Silversmiths" was an English silversmith based in London. After the death of her silversmith husband, she successfully ran the family business for 30 years before passing it on to her sons. They in turn passed it on to their sons and the business continued with Batemans at the helm until the mid-19th century. Hester married John Bateman in 1732 and had six children. When John died of tuberculosis in 1760, he left his tools to his wife and the business. She registered her first mark in 1761 as “HB” in script. Not much appears with her mark up until 1771/2, as it is likely she was supplying other silversmiths who over stamped her mark with their own. Around 1774, Hester was joined by her sons, John and Peter, and they worked to build up a business in Bunhill Row in London. They first started to produce spoons in the early 1770s (with the odd fork which are very rare from Hester's workshop) and they expanded their range to produce neoclassical style household silverware, which included many items popular in the 18th century such as tea-ware, wine labels, jugs, salvers, salt cellars, trays and inkwells. There were certain items that she didn’t make such as candlesticks and candelabra - although I think one or two pairs are known! The Bateman style is known for its bright-cut engraving, piercing and beading around edges. Hester retired in 1790 and her sons continued the business.

Lot 1
Processional or Altar Cross. Limoges, France. Romanesque. Second quarter of the 13th century.An important processional or altar cross, with a double transverse bar. Its wooden core is covered with engraved, punched, and gilded copper plates, adorned with champlevé enamel elements in shades of blue, yellow, green, and white, and cabochons of gemstones and coloured glass. It features an appliqué figure of Christ in embossed, engraved, and gilded copper, with a long loin cloth adorned with blue and turquoise champlevé enamel and glass eyes.Height 39.5 cm.Crosses with a double transverse bar, originating in the Byzantine era, were considered staurothekes, that is, reliquaries of the True Cross. This tradition persisted in Limoges amongst the precious metalworkers, as demonstrated by this rare specimen, although it has unfortunately lost its precious relic, which was located on the upper transverse bar, above the head of Christ.Few specimens like this cross have survived. One that has is the cross kept at the Castle Museum in Norwich, Norfolk, England, although it is in a considerably worse condition than this one, as it retains none of the gilding, gemstones, or the relic (Inventory No. NWHCM: 1846.97). There is also the cross kept in the Church of the Temple of Carentoir in France.An interesting feature can be seen on this cross, also found on the Bonneval Cross, which is part of the Musée de Cluny collection (Inventory No. Cl. 22888), and that is the widening at the end of each arm—a form inherited from Carolingian or Byzantine art that would later be taken up again in Catalan precious metal-working.According to Dr. Paul Thoby's classification in "Les Croix limousines de la fin du XIIe siècle au début du XIVe siècle," Paris, Editions A. et J. Picard, 1953; this crucifix belongs to the second group, i.e. from the late 12th century to the mid-13th century. These are crosses with a wooden core and a covering of fine engraved and stamped copper plates with applications of champlevé enamel, featuring an appliqué figure of Christ in enamelled copper at the centre.Dr. Thoby's work is truly interesting, as he mentions in the book's introduction that, upon visiting the magnificent Limoges enamel exhibition organised in 1948 in Limoges itself and which presented a never-before-seen collection, he realised that out of the nearly two hundred objects exhibited — pyxes, reliquaries, pastoral staffs, plates, etc.—only two were processional crosses. As he writes, these types of crosses are rare because they usually had a wooden core covered with gilded or enamelled copper plates; many, losing the wooden core due to woodworm, were reconstructed, melted, or their parts were scattered.Previously, in 1890, Ernest Rupin mentioned ten processional crosses with champlevé enamel, so an in depth study of these crosses was pending. A brilliant study was then initiated by M. Marquet de Vasselot.Initially, the focus was on processional crosses, but it soon became apparent that it was impossible to discriminate between these and altar crosses, as most of the time in the 12th and 13th centuries, it was the same cross that processed and was later placed on the altar. It had to be of considerable size to be seen by all the worshippers from afar.The study, therefore, focused on all Limoges enamel crosses regardless of their size, from the late 12th century to the first quarter of the 14th century, a time when champlevé enamel disappeared abruptly. At the end of the study, a total of 116 crosses were recorded between France and other countries.Our cross is in a very satisfactory state of preservation. It retains all the gilded copper plates, most with engraved decoration and champlevé enamel applications.There are slight flaws and restoration work, such as the right arm of Christ, which has been reconstructed.This lot has been imported, so it has a guaranteed export permit from the Ministry of Culture.
