Pewter
Pewter is a dense metal containing predominantly tin and other materials such as antinomy, zinc, copper, bismuth, and iron. Pewter is considered one of the most valuable metals along with platinum, gold and silver, making it a preferred material among collectors. It has a very low melting point which makes it very durable and easy to mold. Since the Bronze Age, it has been used to make decorative objects and other household utensils such as serveware, flatware and cutlery, plates, cups, and bowls. After the raw pewter cast is created, several hands-on steps are required; thus, each piece is unique and very valuable. Whether you're starting a new collection or expanding an existing one, be sure to find extraordinary pewter pieces that will pass the test of time.
