The basic element of pewter is tin. Tin is too soft to be used on its own, so is tempered with small amounts of copper and antimony to create pewter. Pewter neither rusts as iron does nor tarnishes like silver. It is a metal which easily adapts to the making of household and ornamental articles. Pewter has been widely used by man for many thousands of years. Care: Pewter, being a delicate metal is not meant to be exposed to hear or harsh materials. Treat your pewter with care by hand washing with mild soap instead of using a dishwasher.
