Little is known of Buttall's life and career, save that she was active in London, where she lived in the parish of Minories. A largeworker, she registered her mark on 10 May 1754, and was active until around 1772.[1] She was the widow of founder Jonathan Buttall, who died in May 1754; in September of the same year she married gunmaker John Bumford. Her burial was recorded at St Botolph's in 1775.[2]
The National Museum of Women in the Arts owns a 1771 lemon strainer, in George III style, by Buttall; in addition, the collection also contains a George III dish cross of the same year attributed to her.[1]
