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 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 easily workable alloy, has been with us since biblical times. The earliest mentions of pewter in the UK date back to Roman times around 250 AD. Its significance 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 use, made possible by economic growth, particularly through the mass export of British wool and textiles, and increasing raw material availability 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 polish. Soon, a new manufacturing method called metal spinning emerged, leading to a significant increase in pewter product production. As a result, a lightweight, highly refined product was created, quickly becoming a popular alternative to more expensive silver-plated items.
