John (? - 1760) and Hester (1708-1794) Bateman were a husband and wife team of British silversmiths who worked in London in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. John Bateman was a goldsmith and silversmith who ran a successful business in London, and he was known for producing high-quality silverware. After his death in 1760, his wife Hester took over the business and ran it successfully for over 30 years. She was one of the first female silversmiths in England to work independently, and she was known for producing elegant and high-quality silverware. Hester Bateman's work is highly sought after by collectors today, and it is considered some of the finest silverware produced in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
