Pewter is one of the oldest metals used for dinnerware. By law, pewter must contain a minimum of 92% tin. The other metals are typically copper and antimony. All pewter products we carry are food safe.
Pewter should always be hand washed and dried completely, unless otherwise noted for a particular product. Because it tarnishes slowly, it rarely requires polishing. If needed, however, any metal polish noted as appropriate for pewter will do.
