Match Pewter - Handmade Italian Pewter for the Home

Match Pewter creates a variety of beautiful pewter accessories for the home.  From pewter dishes and pewter silverware to pewter & crystal glasses for all occasions, Match Pewter has elegant and functional hand crafted products for all rooms in the home.  Match Pewter is crafted in Italy by groups of artisans in the north of Italy.  Each pewter dish, vase, item of silverware, etc is stamped with the hallmark of the pewter smith family who created the piece.

Pewter has been used for many centuries (since about 3000 bc) to create wonderful and timeless tools of beauty and functionality.  High quality pewter is durable and easy to clean, and is a much less expensive alternative to silver and also much easier to care for.  Match Pewter is created with a lead-free alloy of tin, copper and antimony that is FDA approved and food safe, so you don't need to worry about toxic chemicals leaking into your food.  To truly be called pewter, the alloy must contain at least 92% tin.  Match Italian Pewter contains 95% of the highest quality tin, therefore they are stamped with "95" in each Match Italian Pewter creation.
