The soft sheen of pewter has attracted the eye of man since the beginning of written history. It is not known when pewter was first made, but we know that bronze, which is similar, was made as early as 3200 BC.

Scientists assume that somewhere between the beginnings of the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, two thousand years later, a maker of bronze changed his mixture of metals and discovered pewter. Natural resources of tin, lead and copper were used.

For centuries, pewter was a valued possession in Europe and later in America. Pewter ranked with gold and silver as a family treasure. Pewter keeps its original soft appearance through a very slow oxidizing process that darkens gently, but does not tarnish like silver. It takes on an antique look which is highly desirable, giving contrasts of dark and light areas. This brings out details of sculpting.

Pewter in the “old New England” tradition is very well known. Using master craftsmen The Preisner Company, with over 50 years of manufacturing excellence, produces one of the highest quality pewter products in the world. Our fine, pewter body jewelry will provide many years of use.

Pewter like silver must be maintained.

Caring for Pewter

Pewter can be washed by hand in hot, sudsy water, rinsed, and dried thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never place your pewter items in the dishwasher. Do not over clean antique pewter. It is not meant to look like silver.

For the easiest maintenance clean and polish pewter with an antique or dull finish, rub in one direction with a paste of rotten-stone and boiled linseed oil. When clean, wash in hot soapy water, rinse, dry and buff. For a lustrous satin finish, rub in one direction with a paste of whiting and denatured alcohol. When clean, wash, rinse, dry and buff.

Pewter may be pitted or stained by acids and other chemicals in some foods, so wash immediately after using. Be careful not to dent or scratch it.

The sharp edges of other metal items and even creases in tissue paper can cause fine scratches in pewter, so when storing your pewter, always store it in its original box and wrapping.
