Patriot Pewter: Set of 3 Contemporary Holders

Pewter was prized in the Middle Ages and in Colonial America as the tableware of the middle class. Thereafter, people aspired to the ownership of china and silverware. Later, pewter was discarded because of its lead content. Today, pewterware is experiencing a strong revival, due to the lead-free alloys now available and the ability of a few manufacturers to simulate in pewter the look and texture of hand-raised silver - without the high maintenance of silver. Our pewter is now more tarnish resistant than ever, and maintains this shine and glow for years. Merely hand wash with mild soap and warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Thus, was born PATRIOT PEWTER. Nowhere is the luster of hand-hammered and polished silverware better mirrored than in this pewter alloy. Completely food safe, PATRIOT PEWTER replaces the early American customary tableware.
