Pewter Art

Penang Pewter. This is a small shop but has a large array of Penang Pewter direct from the factory. As Malaysia's second-name Pewter company, Penang Pewter can be a real bargain compared to the picture frames, goblets, vases and the like produced by its upscale compatriots. The company's newest claim to fame is its gold-plated pewterware, which it happily adds to its 600 or so available items.

Pewter was once made with lead, but today's varieties are not and are comprised primarily of tin with a hint of copper. The soft metal is easily handcrafted with intricate designs.
