Lot Description

Two George III silver wine labels by Hester Bateman, the first for Sherry of shaped openwork form with feather edge and scrolled motifs below a horse crest, and the second for Claret of plain crescent shape, lion passant and Duty marks only alongside the maker's mark; together with a pair of George III silver sugar tongs with bright cut engraved decoration, hallmarked Peter, Ann & William Bateman, London 1801. Gross weight 1.64 ozt (51.2 grams). (3).  

Postage: Postable

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

All three pieces appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some expected surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with age and use and also some tarnishing. Decoration on the sugar tongs appears fairly crisp with only slight loss to surface detail, mainly on the grips due to heavier wear. Some slight rubbing but all hallmarks are still clearly legible. Suspension chains not hallmarked.
