Here at Patrick Meyer Studio we use only the finest quality pewter, a combination of tin and sterling silver. The pewter is lead-free and food safe. There are certain conditions you need to be aware of that may cause pewter to develop a fine patina or slightly darker look over time. If you prefer the natural luster of pewter follow the steps listed below.

• We recommend you wash pewter by hand in warm soapy water, rinse it, then towel dry with a soft cloth. Our items can be cleaned in a dishwasher but DO NOT allow them to sit in the dishwasher overnight. Remove our 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.
• There are various pewter cleaners and polishes available to maintain pewter. Call or email if you have any problems with your pewter items.
