Pewter
Pewter is among the most venerable and versatile materials in Swedish craftsmanship, and one of the few metals to have been used since prehistoric times. At Svenskt Tenn, pewter has been the lifeblood of the enterprise since its founding by Estrid Ericson in 1924. With its lustrous surface and enduring strength, this timeless material grows only more beautiful as the years pass.
Pewter as a material
Pewter is a soft metal of elegant silver-grey hue, widely used today for decorative objects, tableware and jewellery. Its lasting popularity lies in part in its graceful ageing; over time, pewter acquires a natural patina that lends each piece a distinct character.
