Pewter has managed to survive throughout the centuries due to its unique material properties. The combination off pewter, 97% tin and 3% silver, has garnered a long lasting respect, prized for its workability, value, and beauty.
The use of pewter spans all countries and cultures. Its use for household utensils succeeded wood. Pewter objects were made in China 2000 years ago. The Romans used it for seals of office. The French used fine pewter domestic objects in their homes before the English caught on. It has been said "When Europe began to emerge from the Dark- Ages, handcrafted pewter came back with it, everywhere, into the light again." Eventually, England became the center of pewter production in medieval Europe and later supplied the raw material to Colonial America.
Crafted with the finest quality pewter, a combination of tin and sterling silver; it is lead-free and food safe. There are certain conditions which will cause pewter to develop a fine patina or slightly darker look over time.
To properly care and keep the natural luster of pewter:
-Wash pewter by hand in warm water with mild detergent, rinse, and towel dry with a soft cloth
-Items can be cleaned in a dishwasher but DO NOT allow them to sit in the dishwasher overnight. Remove items IMMEDIATELY after the drying cycle is complete. Heat and detergent may prove harmful to the pieces if they are left in the dishwasher for prolonged periods.
-Pewter should not be used in an oven, on the stove, or exposed to direct flame.
-Although there are commercial pewter cleaners and polishes available to maintain pewter; mild soap and warm water should always be the first choice.
