REDISCOVER PEWTER
Pewter is a colonial material
enjoying renewed interest for
today’s homemaker. Pewter is
that lustrous metal which wears
well, doesn’t need polishing and is
elegantly casual with any table
setting.
Examples of authentic pewter
are rare. The reason for the
scarcity is that pewter was hand
cast from tin - an ingredient
subject to a high English tariff in
colonial days. Old pieces were
often traded in for newly-cast
pieces.
Today, pewter pieces are
sometimes hand cast but are also

created by spinning and stamping
methods for greater versatility.
With either method each piece
may not be exactly uniform, giving
a valued handcrafted look.
Finishes include dark shadings of
antique, soft sheen of satin or a
bright gleam that resembles
silver.
Pewter is not a precious metal,
but lends itself to all the design and
use possibilities of silver. It has its
own special beauty and to many,
part of that beauty is its tarnish
resistance.
Today’s pewter is an alloy of
several metals consisting mainly
of tin and small amounts of copper

and antimony to add strength and
brilliance. Since it is a solid metal,
pewter will not develop worn spots
with prolonged use. As a soft
metal, however, it does dent easily
without proper care. It has a low
melting point and should be kept
away from extreme heat, flames
and heating elements.
After buying pewter pieces,
carefully read and follow care
instructions. Many types of pewter
“flatware” available are actually
dishwasher-safe. Other pewter
pieces will require washing by
hand. Rinsing in hot water and
drying immediately will prevent
water spotting.
It’s wise to wash food and
beverage service pieces promptly
after use. As with silver, certain
chemicals and acids present in
foods may cause stains and pitting
if in long contact with pewter.
Common culprits include party
dips, eggs, salad dressing, oils,
vinegar, salt and fruit juices. Acids
such as those of a lactic variety
found in cheese may also start
corrosion.

some suggestions to help you.
First, cover the furniture and
floor with newspapers. Start by
dusting the ceiling with a vacuum
brush or with a long-handled mop
covered with a clean cloth.
Then, using a sturdy ladder,
wash the ceiling with a sponge or
cloth dipped in warm water to
which you’ve added detergent or
soap. Rinse with a clean wet
snonge or cloth.

It’s best to do just one small
section of ceiling at a time the
area you can easily reach from
your ladder. Make sure marks do
not show where you finish one part
and start the next one.
To do a thorough job, you’ll need
clean sponges or cloths. That’s
why it’s important to change wash
and rinse water as soon as they get
dirty. Otherwise, you’ll just be
smearing the dirt around.
