Hester Bateman Marrow Scoop, 1784

This is a great example of a Georgian marrow scoop made by Hester Bateman. The double ended scoop is in the usual form with a lovely engraved crest to the reverse of the larger section. The all important hallmarks are in excellent condition with a clear "HB" maker's mark, plus the bonus of a fine example of the incuse duty mark (only used for 18 months between December 1784 and July 1786).
