As a soft metal, tin allows our crafters to work more detail into the design, achieving a fine, detailed finish. Detail is a distinctive draw of pewter pieces, and their low melting point (approximately 100 – 120 celsius) means it should not be used in ovens, hot appliances, dishwashers, or washing machines. These may deform the elegant designs of the metal.
Pewter’s thermal conductivity surpasses stainless steel, offering unique benefits. For example:
- Pewter tea sets keep beverages warm longer.
- Pewter butter dishes maintain butter’s shape by staying cool.
- Pewter ice buckets prevent ice from melting too quickly.
We carefully consider the functionality of every design when selecting materials for our creations, ensuring each piece in our collection is designed or serves a purpose, and execute it beautifully.
