The Saucepan has an unusually shaped bellied bowl, with slightly everted rim. The silver socket of the handle is attached to the main body with a heart shaped moulding and the upper section is constructed of finely turned fruitwood. The front is engraved with an exceptionally finely executed Armorial, with Crest above and banner below engraved with the Motto "Dvw Dt Pas" . The Arms are surrounded by a foliate plume and Rococo shell cartouche. The base is also engraved with a set of contemporary script initials. Saucepans from any of the Bateman workshops are rare and examples of silver from the partnership of Peter, Ann & William Bateman is also scarce, as they were only in partnership together for five years. This example is in excellent condition and is well marked on the side of the main body.

The Arms, Crest and Motto are those of Kemeys, quartering Tynte, impaling Leyson. Specifically they are those of Charles Kemeys-Tynte Esq., and his wife Anne, widow of Thomas Lewis Esq and daughter of the Reverend T. Leyson. Charles Kemeys-Tynte of Halswell House, Somerset, and Kevanmably, Glamorganshire was born in 1779. He was Colonel of the West Somerset Cavalry and Magistrate and DL, for the counties of Somerset, Glamorgan and Surrey. He was M.P. for Bridgewater, County Somerset. The Kemeys-Tyntes were at the summit of the landed gentry. They owned extensive estates through numerous marriages to considerable heiresses. Charles's father, Colonel Johnston, Master of the Household to George Prince of Wales, had assumed, by Royal Licence, the name and arms of Kemeys-Tynte, having married Jane Hassal, who was the sole heiress of these great families. An image of Halswell House is shown.
