William Bateman II Inkwells

William Bateman II, the great-grandson of the famed Hester Bateman, is considered the last of the dynasty of Bateman silversmiths. Though his creations differ stylistically from those of his 18th-century ancestors, the incredible, high-caliber workmanship and outstanding skill that serve as the foundation of the Bateman oeuvre are ever-present within Bateman II’s silver.
