Georgian Silver Wine Funnel by Hester Bateman

About the Item

Silver Wine Funnel Hester Bateman Hallmarked London, 1784 Featuring her signature beaded edging and refined style, this George III silver wine funnel was crafted by the “Queen of the Silversmiths,” Hester Bateman. The funnel fastens to the rim of a wine bottle via the attached hook, allowing the wine to pass through the perforations in the center of the funnel and into the glass. This allows the wine to “breathe,” or aerate, which helps to smooth any tannic qualities for a better flavor. After learning the trade alongside her husband, Bateman took over the family silversmithing business following his passing in 1760. Under her pioneering leadership, the company flourished until her retirement in 1790, when she entrusted the legacy to her sons and daughter-in-law, who continued the family tradition into the mid-19th century. 4 3/4" high x 3 1/4" diameter
