Jamestown Colony Commemoration | Custom pewter ornament

Posted by Brianne Tarleton on 4/20/2018 to Commemorative Gifts

Jamestown Celebrates 400th Anniversary

The Jamestowne Society is marking the 400th anniversary of the first General Anniversary at the historic Jamestown Settlement with this custom pewter ornament! This ornament is sure to be a collector's item for many years to come, and features a unique description on the back.

The Society came to us after they uncovered pieces of the original House of Burgess bell. They were able to uncover enough pieces to create a replica of the bell. Once we had the image in hand we were able to create this custom ornament for them.

Does your group or organization have an upcoming celebration or a need to raise funds? We would love to talk with you about how we can help with creating a custom and commemorative Christmas ornament, key chain, or coin for you.

Congratulations to Jamestown, we enjoyed working with you.

Custom Engraving Services

Posted by Hampshire Pewter on 8/25/2015 to Engraving

We had a client who was refinishing an antique trunk as a wedding gift. As a symbol of the marital bond, she wanted to apply a personalized engraved message on an antique lock. She brought us an old lock with an aged patina and requested the couple's last names be engraved with the date of their "incorporation." The result was fantastic when the old copper shined through the years of age on the face of the lock. She thought this was the perfect symbol for a marriage meant to shine through the test of time! Do you need custom engraving? Special engraving orders don't upset us!

Early American Pewter - Britannia

Posted by Hampshire Pewter on 2/17/2015

Early American pewter is noted for its simplicity of style. The difficulty and expense of obtaining molds resulted in a slower stylistic evolution than that of silver which did not require molds for its manufacture, though the general design trends in silver were eventually reflected in pewter. Because pewter was a far softer metal, a thicker construction was often used as a means of increasing durability. Further, pewter's basically utilitarian nature discouraged excessive ornamentation.
