MY best reading is a Hester Bateman Attribution London 1813 Sterling English King9.25 inch Spoons .. 8 inch Table Forks 442g lot 4pcs as pictured
Description:
Antique English sterling silver flatware lot consisting of 2 large spoons and 2 large forks, total weight 442 grams.
The pieces are fully hallmarked English sterling silver. After careful comparison, the marks appear to read as London, date letter S, with a right-facing King’s Head duty mark consistent with the George III period. Our best reading is London, 1813.
The maker’s mark appears to be a script HB-type mark. Based on the visible hallmark and comparison to known marks, this lot is attributed to theHesyer Bateman family / Bateman workshop. The hallmark is worn from age and polishing, and we have done our best to decipher it accurately from the visible marks.
The pattern appears to be English King / King’s Pattern, with heavy shell terminals, scrollwork, floral detail, and matching decoration to the front and back of the handles.

The hallmarks are visible but worn, as shown. No monogram is visible to my eye. Please review all photos carefully, especially the hallmark close-ups I am no expert on British silver and did my honest best to give proper attribution and dating .
