Pewter is a beautiful metal with a long and storied history. Pewter is more than a cheap substitute for sterling silver. It has its own beauty and merits that made it excellent for decorative and practical purposes. Traditionally, pewter is an alloy of tin and lead, and has been popular for plates, mugs and utensils for centuries. The origin of the word “pewter” is not known with any certainty, but it is most likely an English version of the word spelter. The metal, and the name, were adopted throughout Europe with only slight variation of the spelling. The word pewter became peauter in Dutch, peutre, peautre or piautre in French, peltro in Italian and peltre in Spanish. The oldest known pewter is Roman pewter. It has been uncovered at various sites in England and elsewhere, was composed of tin and lead alone. Occasional traces of iron are believed to be accidental.
