Pewter is mostly made up of tin, with a small amount of copper (and antimony), while bronze is mostly made of copper, with a small amount of tin. Metallurgists have speculated that pewter could have been invented when the quantities of metal in the alloy were reversed, either by accident or design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTin is the fourth most precious metal today after platinum, gold and silver, and pewter has long been prized as an alternative to silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16th \u0026amp;amp; 17th Centuries were the Golden Age of pewter, with pewter being the chief component of tableware and liturgical objects universally used across Europe, such as plates and candlesticks. The art of casting had become so sophisticated that truly beautiful pieces could be achieved, especially hollowware (tableware such as creamers, tea pots and tureens) coinciding with the craze, at that time, for new-fangled beverages, such as coffee \u0026amp;amp; tea, as well as carafes and tankards, alongside the age-old staples of wine and ale. Pewterware became prized not just for its utilitarian purposes, but for its decorative beauty and as works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree of traces of lead, by law, since the 1970s, many pewter workshops have kept the forms of traditional styles that go back generations, since the moulds where the alloys were fused were costly to replace and therefore handed down from generation-to-generation by the craftsman. However, as a fantastically versatile material, pewter workshops, depending upon the skills of the pewterers within, are able to produce innovative and elegant designs, marrying the heritage of pewter, using the traditional value of craftsmanship, with a freshness of 21st Century design, which allows the ancient material of pewter to hold its own in contemporary times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vicolo Via Mameli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52877965263176,"sku":null,"price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/4407\/4056\/files\/0125401_11.jpg?v=1775821001","url":"https:\/\/www.vicoloviamameli.com\/products\/pewter-coffee-pot-by-cosi-tabellini","provider":"Vicolo Via Mameli","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
