Pewter History

Pewter is a prized alloy manufactured from tin, with a small amount of copper and antimony added to give it strength. Considered the world's fourth most precious metal after platinum, gold and silver, its ability to withstand time and its shiny brilliance gives it great value, particularly so when shaped into plates, goblets, figurines, etc. Unlike silver, pewter does not require polishing or any other special care. It does not rust, tarnish or deteriorate in any way over time. Our pewter products contain a whopping 97% of tin and is 100% lead free. Our collection is hand-made in Malaysia which is the largest producer of tin in the world.

Pewter Care Tips

Pewter does not tarnish like silver, so a periodic cleaning with an all-purpose metal polish will keep it looking bright. Pewter polish can be found at most hardware stores or specialty craft stores. Do not use silver or brass polish on your pewter pieces.

• Pewter can be pitted or stained from certain foods such as citrus juice, types of salad dressing, etc., so please remember to wash your items immediately after use in warm, soapy water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.

• Always hand wash your pewter pieces rather than placing them in the dishwasher.

• Do not place your pewter pieces in the oven, on a hot plate or near hot flames because pewter melts easier than other types of metals. Pewter melts at only 450 degrees.

• When polishing, use a very soft, non-abrasive cloth. You can try making your own polish if you like using vinegar, salt and flour. Rub it in gentle, circular motions to shine up your pewter pieces.
