By buying real pewter you are supporting a rural craftsman, whose every piece is hand cast and has a unique charm and character that is impossible to get with cheap metals. Better still, there is no damage to the back of the piece from stamping, because our pewter is thick and we use a state of the art engraving machine to engrave it. Pewter is a weighty metal, so you can feel the quality in your hand.

We use exclusively eco-friendly Britannia Pewter which is 92% tin, 6% antinomy and 2% copper and has been the premium pewter mix since 1769 when it was discovered by James Vickers. It is of course lead and nickel free, food friendly and hypo allergenic. Many of our pieces make wonderful wedding or 10th (tin) wedding anniversary gifts and you have the reassurance that we guarantee them for life. Although our highly polished pewter looks like silver, it doesn’t tarnish like silver and can be cleaned with soapy water and dried with a soft cloth. When William makes a new piece, he first carves a master in wax then builds a silicone mould. Once a cavity has formed around the original piece, the hard part begins. Tiny ducts are cut into the mould to allow molten pewter to flow into each cavity, and air to escape during casting. The correct placement of these ducts is crucial. Once William is happy with a mould he will spend an hour or two testing and adjusting it, then start casting and the pieces produced are left to cool then cleaned up by hand to remove any roughness from the casting. The next step is to polish, dry and inspect each piece; box it and send it off to its lucky new owner.

We can also engrave this spoon, either with one word/name or with a word/name and a date below.
