Fish Server William Bateman 1830 Sterling Silver monogram of burning building
About the Item
An extraordinary sterling silver fish server. William Bateman produced it in 1830 in London. The engraving of a burning building was unfamiliar and fascinating. After the Great London Fire of 1666 a monument was erected and the Court of Common Council ordered that an inscription, in Latin and English, be fixed on the Monument, signifying that “the City of London was burnt and consumed with fire by the treachery and malice of the Papists in September in the year of Our Lord 1666”. Interestingly, in 1830, an anti-Catholic inscription to the monument was removed... and presumably the owner of this fish server was either delighted, or horrified... at the change. I believe most Catholics ate fish on Fridays in 1830 so I tend to think this is a celebration of waning anti-Catholic sentiment in London... almost 200 years ago. Wow! 224 grams

William Bateman II
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.

Edwin Scheier 1964 Modernist Sculpture of Man Riding Jaguar Which Has Eaten Man
By Edwin and Mary Scheier
Located in Mobile, AL
An early and fully three dimensional sculpture by Edwin Scheier exhibiting a symbolic or mythological representation that represents the circle of life. The bent wood, carving, piercing and rope work are all manifest at a high level in this quixotic almost whimsical work of 1964. Edwin (and Mary) spent over a decade in the 1960's and 70's in Oaxaca, Mexico where he often worked with Guanacaste wood and local fibers, to great success. A perfect compliment to a mid century modern interior and a must have go along with any major mid century and/or Scheier ceramics...
