About eco friendly lead free pewter
Glover & Smith are members of The Association of British Pewter Craftsmen and most of the designs carry the quality marks of the Association. Pewter has been used in the home for around 3,000 years. Modern pewter is 92% pure tin and added to this are small amounts of copper and other metals to give additional strength. It is a plentiful, non-toxic resource and tin mining has little or no impact on the environment. This eco fiendly metal does not need polishing like silver and it does not go grey like old pewter (this is the lead content)
Lead free pewter doesn't react with food stuffs unlike other precious metals
Because Glover & Smith products are made from solid lead free pewter the surface will never flake or chip.. With a minimum of care your pewter ware will retain its shiny patina. Simply wipe with soapy water.No need to use abrasive cleaners or polishes. We do not recommend dishwasher cleaning.
