When Dear and I were engaged we were really attracted to pewter items. We collected some pieces while we were in England in 1973 and l974 and then registered for pewter items for wedding gifts.
This Pewter Hurricane Lamp was a wedding gift along with this Platter and Bowl. So we’ve been using these gifts for over 32 years.

Photobucket is holding hundreds of my photos hostage and that’s why you don’t see the original photos on this post.

Lovely pieces! Pewter just gets more beautiful with age. I wish I could change some seldom used silver pieces into pewter! 🙂
Those are beautiful!
How unique! These are lovely pieces – thank you for sharing them!
What beautiful pieces! Pewter makes me think early America, though I knew it was used in different times and places as well.
I love all your pieces. Also, so neat to hear that you have been married for so long. Neat to see couples staying together!!
Thanks for sharing,
Jane
Gorgeous! I have one piece only that was my Grandma’s. Yours certainly hold lots of memories, I’m sure..

Hi Ellen 🙂 These are marvelous! My particular favorite is the coffee server. I can just picture it on a lovely table outside in the evening. Pewter just has the lovliest glow about it in the candlelight. Thanks for sharing! Blessings! Q
Cool–they used to make pewter things in my home town of Somers, CT. I used to have something made of pewter–but so many moves and years later it is gone!! Thanks for showing your stuff!!
How lovely.

Beautiful pewter collection!

Great collection!
I like pewter, too, though I never thought about collecting it. How nice that both of you were attracted to it!
Wonderful collection. How do you clean pewter? I use cast iron which requires hot water only. Can you use soap with pewter? Beautiful platter!
