These six, matching, 4 5/8" long, sterling silver coffee spoons bear maker's stamps for Ann, Peter and William Bateman, and the date letter "E" for 1801. They are Old English style, with tipt backs and exposed drops. They have had monogram removals, but this is not evident as the surface where the monograms were is flat. In all other aspects, the pieces are in outstanding condition. The bowls are free of tip wear, dings, dents or burrs.
