Hester Bateman Mustard Spoon

This is a great silver mustard spoon made by the famous Hester Bateman. Hester Bateman is often called "The Queen of English Silversmiths" and mustard spoons made by her are rather scarce. The spoon is gilt to the inside of the bowl and is in overall excellent condition. The "B" in the maker's mark is somewhat rubbed, but the distinctive script "H" means that the spoon is definitely made by Hester Bateman.
