MADE IN SHEFFIELD

All pewter items are handcrafted in the renowned manufacturing city of Sheffield. Sheffield has been synonymous with high-quality production for centuries. Although somewhat smaller than in previous decades, this trend continues today, and Sheffield remains a leader in the production of fine cutlery, steel, and pewter.

A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE SINCE 1977

Pewter, an easy-to-work alloy, has been with us since biblical times. The earliest mentions of pewter in the UK date back to Roman times around 250 AD. The significance of pewter as a metal and commodity did not fully develop until the Middle Ages. This period, often called the “Golden Age of English Yeoman,” marked the transformation of the material into everyday items, made possible by economic growth, especially through the mass export of British wool and textiles, and increasing access to raw materials for pewter production.

Pewter production remained a cottage industry until 1770, when Jessop and Hancock developed a new pewter alloy in Sheffield, containing antimony instead of lead and a bit of copper, known as Britannia metal, which could be given a bright shine. Soon, a new manufacturing method called metal spinning was developed, leading to a significant increase in pewter product production. As a result, a lightweight, highly refined product emerged, which quickly became a popular alternative to more expensive silver-plated items.
