Its traditional pear shape is complemented by a high domed cover with beaded edges, a delicate bud finial and a finely crafted wooden handle. The coffee pot proudly displays a stag’s head caboshed, surrounded by delicate vines and a ribbon-like pattern. The spout appears wrapped in acanthus leaves, a stunning nod to classical forms. The design exudes a delicate, lightweight elegance, showcasing Bateman’s signature feminine sensibility and Georgian refinement.
Introduced in the 17th century, silver coffee pots became a symbol of wealth and sophistication, central to English tableware culture as coffee drinking grew in popularity. This particular coffee pot, once part of the esteemed Red McCombs collection, perfectly reflects Bateman’s exceptional skill and innovative approach. After taking over her family’s silversmithing business in 1760, Bateman’s leadership ensured its success until her retirement in 1790, with her legacy continuing well into the mid-19th century.
