About William Sturt Fine Pewter

By buying hand cast pewter you are helping protect one of the rarest and oldest rural heritage crafts - dating back to the bronze age. We are now one of only a handful of pewterers left and all our pewter is made by hand using traditional methods which haven’t changed in centuries. Pewter has a wonderful deep glow and is heavier than expected in your hand. William has been working with pewter for 25 years and everything he makes is guaranteed for life. We use the finest Britannia Pewter which won’t cause an allergic reaction. It doesn’t contain lead or nickel and doesn’t flake, rust or tarnish, because we never use chemicals on it. If you need to clean pewter, use detergent or soap and rub it with a soft cloth, rinsing and drying afterwards. William starts by carving a master from which he constructs a silicon mold. Pewter is hand ladled into completed molds to create new pieces which are left to cool before being cleaned up and polished ready for soldering or drilling. We don’t charge for delivery and we try to ship every order within 24 hours of receiving it. Read their story
