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, the pewterer's craft 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.
