Pewter Pewter, an easily worked alloy, has been in use in Britain for near on 2000 years. Pewter remained a cottage industry until 1770 when a new pewter alloy which used Antimony and Copper instead of Lead was developed in Sheffield, it became known as Britannia metal and was capable of being given a bright polish.
Stag Wine Bottle Stopper If you are one of these people who are able to save some wine once you have opened a bottle, this is an exquisite way to preserve it and frankly is a beautiful item in its own right. This weighty bottle stopper is made from food grade rubber and is adorned with a magnificent stag head design cast in solid pewter. It is the use of that pewter that gives the stopper its striking finish and which ensures that its look will endure for years to come without risk of tarnishing or rust. The coaster is also supplied with its very own cream and black English Pewter Company presentation box.
