Care and Cleaning

The art of making Mexican pewter has been passed from one generation to another. Every piece of pewter displays the dedication and tradition of Mexican craftsmen. Pewter is given its form through the ancient method of sand casting, making sure during the process to keep the pewter’s quality and thermal properties. Each piece is cast with a particular hand made mold, resulting in a unique work of art. Each piece is unique, can have small pitting, and may also vary slightly in size.  All takes shape magically in the hands of the proud Mexican artisans. The process is 100% hand made, except for the final polishing. Mexican pewter is made with a lead free alloy of Tin or Aluminum, Copper and Antimony; this makes it safe for food and drink, however it is not recommended for cooking.  Polished pewter will never tarnish when cared for correctly.

As with any functional piece of art, care must be taken to maintain the beauty. Clean with mild soap and dry immediately. Do not put in the dishwasher. Food cannot be stored in/on any pewter pieces.  Do not use a sharp knife on the pewter.
