MADE IN SHEFFIELD

All pewter products are handcrafted in the world-famous 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 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 use, made possible by economic growth, especially through the mass export of British wool and textiles and the increasing availability of 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. It became known as Britannia metal, allowing it to be given a bright shine. Soon, a new manufacturing method called metal spinning was developed, leading to a significant increase in pewter products. As a result, a lightweight, highly refined product was created, which quickly became a popular alternative to more expensive silver-plated items.

PRODUCT OF THE YEAR

In 2019 and 2021, the English Pewter Company was immensely proud that not just one, but two of their products made it onto the shortlist of the prestigious Gift of the Year Awards. The awards are presented by The Giftware Association, which represents tens of thousands of companies worldwide and includes a panel of independent judges from leading figures in the gift industry.

Luxury products from the English Pewter Company are an ideal gift idea for a loved one. They can also be personalized with hand or laser engraving. Additionally, all items come in an elegant black case and a prestigious gift box.
