A very rare George III Hip Flask made in London in 1802 by Peter, Ann and William Bateman.
Hip Flasks are extremely rare from this early date, as they gain popularity during the Victorian period. This example is plain in design with a kidney shaped form. Most unusually, however, is that the base has a removable drinking cup, with finely gilded interior. The domed cover unscrews and can then be screwed back into the top to act as a stopper. The Hip Flask is in excellent condition, is of a very good gauge and weight, and is fully marked on the main body and the cup and with a second maker's mark on the body. Hip Flasks made by either Hester Bateman, or her family, are especially rare and seldom appear on the market.
Length: 6.6 inches, 16.5cm.
Width: 3.1 inches, 7.75 cm.
Weight: 10oz.
