Don't Ruin Your Pewter

Have you received an item made of pewter this year for the holidays and want to keep it looking new for years to come?

Pewter is a prized alloy manufactured from tin, with a small amount of copper and antimony added to give it strength. Considered the world's fourth most precious metal after platinum, gold, and silver, its ability to withstand time and its shiny brilliance gives it great value, particularly so when shaped into plates, goblets, figurines, etc. Unlike silver, pewter does not require polishing or any other special care. It does not rust, tarnish, or deteriorate in any way over time.

The good news is pewter does not tarnish like silver, so periodic cleaning with an all-purpose metal polish will keep it looking bright. Pewter polish can be found at most hardware stores or specialty craft stores. Do not use any other kind of polish like silver or brass polish; this can ruin the finish on your pewter.

There are some things to watch out for and keep in mind when cleaning your pewter.

Pewter can be pitted or stained from certain foods such as citrus juice, types of salad dressing etc., so please remember to wash your items immediately after use in warm, soapy water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents. Always hand wash rather than placing in a dishwasher. Do not place it in the oven, on a hot plate, or near hot flames because pewter melts easier than other types of metal. Pewter melts at only 450 degrees. When polishing, use a very soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Don't want to run out to the stores to purchase your pewter polish? You can make some at home from simple ingredients you may have around the house. Combine a spoon full of vinegar, salt, and flour. Rub it in gentle, circular motions to shine up your pewter. This should not have to be done very often, just when needed.

Whats A Better Buy - A Pewter Or Sterling Silver Wine Goblet?

When selecting what type of cups you will be using for your formal parties many people cannot decide between pewter or sterling silver goblets. Skip using wine glasses for a change and do something that has been around for awhile. When you drink out of either of these it tells people that you have a admiration and acknowledge the history of wine. Both have been around for a number of years and have been established as part of a formal drinking set. You only bring these out when you are having wine tasting or a large dinner.

Everybody has different tastes and we will decide what makes the most sense for you. Sometimes people like to get a set of both because each of them have their own unique characteristics. You would think that there would be a major difference in price between the two of them, but that's not the case.

The two types don't look that much different from far away. Both have a silver look to them. The sterling silver is shinier while the pewter has a darker look to it. From a durability point of view the pewter is going to be less maintenance over the long run. It does not need to be polished after ever use. A simple wash and it is going to look the same. The silver is going to have more upkeep. You will need to polish it or it will begin to have a tarnished look to it.

Prices between the two are similar unless you are looking to get into fancier customized goblets. Pewter is a softer material which makes it easier to add detail to and to customize. Sterling silver is a harder material and costs more to do customized work. The detail in the glasses can be very extensive and will compliMent any dinner setting.

Depending on your budget you will get the same results will less maintenance from pewter. Silver needs to be taken care of more. Who wants to go to a wine tasting Party when their glass has tarnish on it. Nobody would want to. When selecting what would make you happy be thorough in your research. More than likely you will be holding onto these goblets for a lifetime and they will be passed onto future generations.
