Beautifully made, meant to be used pewter home decor is a pleasure to bring to the table - and it's making a comeback in modern homes.

We're always happy to see pewter in the news! Recent articles in the New York Times and Vogue site a renewed loved for this beloved material for it's subtle, aged finish, and gracious, and comfortable appeal. We love pewter for the way it brings a soft, beautiful glow to the table, pairing effortlessly with just about any style, and making even the simplest gathering feel a little more special. After all, setting the table for a special dinner or holiday should be part of the pleasure, not another thing on the to-do list. We believe the best gatherings are about good food, wonderful people, and time spent together. A few thoughtfully chosen, handcrafted details can make all the difference. 

We believe a home should feel welcoming, comfortable, and collected over time. The things we choose to live with should be as lovely to look at as they are to use. That's what makes pewter so special to us. Its understated elegance, natural warmth, and enduring appeal make it right at home for holiday celebrations, Sunday suppers, and all the everyday moments in between.

In our house we organize favorite recipes by season. A highlight of fall is remembering our favorite dishes from previous years and looking forward to new produce at farmstands and in our garden as well as warming the house by baking something in the oven.

Beautiful tools make baking and cooking a joy and we've always believed that everyone deserves to have special well designed objects they can use and enjoy everyday. After all, family heirlooms can only truly be loved when they are used often at home as a part of family memories and traditions. 

We make handcrafted home goods that are meant to be used and loved, from quality, food-grade pewter, a material associated with craftsmanship and understated elegance. Pewter has a history and warmth and it never feels stuffy, which is one thing we love about it - it always feels right at home in our home.

The most meaningful baby gift isn’t necessarily the most expensive or practical - it’s the one they’ll keep for a lifetime.

We’ve been making fresh and modern versions of traditional baby gifts to charm parents and kids alike for the past 20 years. Each handcrafted cup and spoon is designed to be perfect for little hands and made to be given in celebration of a baby’s birth as a meaningful expression of good wishes for health and prosperity, just as they have been for hundreds of years. Silver and pewter tableware have always been used and given for celebratory occasions, and what could be more worthy of celebration than welcoming a new baby to the world.

Baby cups and spoons made of fine pewter are not just ceremonial (we always value the practical, as well) but are durable and can be passed down through the generations. Metal baby cups may get dented, but they won’t break when dropped! Pewter is anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, so it is a safe choice for babies to eat with too. That's why they're such wonderful baby-shower gifts and keepsakes for newborn babies - they're practical and as adorable as they come.

Nearly all of our baby gifts can be personalized with thoughtfully designed engraving for a gift that's truly one-of-a kind.

How many other objects do people have that they keep for their whole lives? Not many, we don’t think. That’s why we take such care, from start to finish, in crafting these meaningful keepsakes we hope will become a part of your family’s history.
