Pewterware manufacturing involves the production of various household items made from pewter, a malleable metal alloy consisting primarily of tin, copper, and antimony. The process of manufacturing pewterware typically involves casting, spinning, and hand-finishing techniques to create a range of products such as plates, bowls, cups, candlesticks, and figurines. Pewterware is known for its unique appearance, with a dull gray finish that can be polished to a high shine. The industry has a long history, dating back to the Middle Ages, and continues to produce high-quality, artisanal products for both functional and decorative purposes.
