About our
pewter:
Made By Hand:
All of our pieces are handmade by us one at a time.
We do all of the work ourselves, from pouring each
piece through the final touches of polishing each
one individually. We take great care and pride in
creating our pieces by hand in an old fashioned
manner. In this way we are not only keeping the
images and meanings alive but also the skill and
techniques of the Master White Smiths of times
past.
The Pewter Mix:
Our pieces feel different than other pewter because
we choose a Lead Free Pewter which is very close to
the ancient Britannia mix. This mix is famed to
have been created in England around 2000 years ago.
In essence it is the flip of the old world bronze
and brought about an abundance of a beautiful white
metal. It contains copper which helps with the
color, feel, and overall vibration of the metal.
Also we take the time and care to polish the pieces
to our unique very bright finish.
Final Clear Coat:
When finished our pieces are dipped in a
tarnish shield designed to protect the surface from
darkening. We find that some environments can
effect this clear coat. If you find a piece begins
to tarnish just treat it as you would Sterling.
Find a nice quality jewelry polish cloth, or
silverware polish cloth and rub it once in a while.
Avoid liquid metal cleaners as it will remove the
dark oxidation in the lower parts of the design and
loose the nice contrasts between the bright and
darker parts of the piece.
