Hester Bateman
Hester Bateman (bap. 1708 – September 16, 1794〔) was an English silversmith who successfully ran her family business for thirty years following the death of her husband. She was succeeded in turn by her sons, daughter-in-law, grandson and great-grandson and the Bateman family silversmithing company lasted until the middle of the nineteenth century.
==Biography==
Hester Neden or Needham was baptised in London on 7 October 1708, the daughter of John Neden or Needham.〔 On 20 May 1732 she married a gold chain maker and wire drawer called John Bateman.〔 During their marriage, she gave birth to six children: John Joseph (Joss), Letitia, Ann, Peter, William and Jonathan. John Bateman died of consumption (tuberculosis) in 1760, leaving his tools to his wife in his will.〔 She took over the family business and registered her first sponsor's mark at the Goldsmith's Hall in 1761, simply "HB" in script.〔 From the time up to the late 1770s, not much Bateman work is known, possibly because she was supplying pieces for other silversmiths that were subsequently overstamped with their marks.〔
After about 1774, Hester Bateman worked to build up the business at 107 Bunhill Row, London with her sons Jonathan(1747-1791) and Peter(1740-1825).〔 They used the latest technology to produce their silverware as cheaply as possible and compete with other companies using Sheffield Plate.〔 They used thin gauge sheet silver and machines to punch and pierce it.〔 The family specialised in household silverware in a neo classical style, and she expanded their range to include many goods such as tea caddies, jugs, salvers, salt cellars, wine labels, trays and ink wells.〔 Their work is characterised by bright-cut engraving, beading around edges and piercing.〔〔
Hester Bateman retired in 1790 and was succeeded by her sons.〔 She died on 16 September 1794 and was buried at St Luke's, Old Street, London.〔
