Pewter

Our pewter is an alloy of tin, antimony and copper, tin being the main component at 97%. Tin in its pure form, while being the fourth most precious metal in common use today, is too soft for practical use. Copper and antimony are therefore added as hardening agents.

Pewter is available in a variety of finishes all ideal for the production of giftware, being highly practical and durable and can be easily engraved.

Tin is the fourth most precious metal in common usage after platinum, gold and silver. It is bright and attractive and extremely versatile.

CARE OF PEWTER

Today's pewter does not tarnish and will keep its luster with a minimum of care. It should be washed in hot soapy water and dried with a soft cloth. Never put pewter items in a dishwasher.

If through neglect it has become dull, clean with a metal polish prior to washing. Always polish in straight lines, not in circles, for best results.

Milano Beer Glass Set

Romanian Glassware (also includes Arctic, Arctic Frost, Georgio, NuVin & Vampire)

Milano

Each piece in this line of mouth-blown and hand-decorated crystal is produced individually in the European country of Romania. The Milano Collection provokes the mind and stimulates the eyes with its unpredictable swirl design, and "stained glass" like finish. Not only is the creative process time consuming, it is also demanding. Each glass is a piece of art created by a worker best described as an artisan. We’ve prepared this to give you a better idea of what goes into producing these wares.

Glass blowing is the art of creating an object from molten glass by blowing air into it utilizing a tube. The glass in the oven takes days to melt (the oven is never turned off). The artisan collects molten glass onto the tip of his blow rod, being careful to accumulate just the right amount for the piece to be blown. To apply the intricate cobalt glass pattern, one craftsman rotates the blob of glass on its axis while another dabs a rod into molten cobalt and spins a thin strand of the material onto the lower portion of the piece. Each ware is then blown to the proper thickness and into the proper shape by mouth. When the glass is just right, the piece is taken out and allowed to cool.

After the glass is cooled, other craftsmen paint the vivid colors within the pattern using different colored luster and 24k gold. One last firing ensures that the color will last a long, long time.

Bacchus DOF Glass Set

Bacchus

Once the shape of the glass has been achieved, the glass is cooled. It is then sent onto etching stations where the grape pattern is cut by hand into the glass. Different craftsmen cut the different pieces of the etching: one person etches the grapes, another the vine, and yet another the leaves. When the glass etching is complete, the glass is polished and sent to the painting station. Here the etchings are painted by hand, using natural luster and real gold. Once the piece is in its final shape, it is fired one more time to ensure long-lasting strength, durability, and color.
