What is Pewter? Pewter is a malleable metal alloy. The use of pewter was common from the Middle Ages up until the various developments in glass-making during the 18th and 19th centuries. Pewter was the main tableware until the making of porcelain. In the early 19th Century, changes of fashion witnessed a decline in the use of pewter flatware such as plates and dishes, but increased production of both cast and spun pewter tea sets, whale – oil lamps and candlesticks. Later in the same century, pewter alloys were often used as a base metal for silver-plated objects. Modern pewter contains little or no lead, which has been replaced with antimony. Today, pewter is mainly used in decorative objects with it’s own preciousness and value.
