Presentation Pieces and Commemorative Works

Diplomatic & Protocol Gifts

A diplomatic gift is presented by political leaders or military members when visiting another state or a foreign country, and the host will often reciprocate. The tradition of diplomatic gifts dates back to ancient times and has been known to make or break relations. At the top government levels, departments oversee diplomatic and protocol gifts.

As the only pewter company in the U.S. that still uses the centuries-old hand-casting method to create our pewter products, Hampshire Pewter is a prime source of diplomatic and protocol gifts for officers of the United States Government.

Municipal Souvenirs

We often work with city, town and state departments to create commemorative pieces and city souvenirs for municipal milestone events or to acknowledge public service retirement or achievement.

Commissioned Works

Hampshire Pewter also accommodates commissioned works to create custom pewter reproductions or souvenirs for non-profits, historical societies, fraternal organizations, private collectors, and museums.

This is a recent example of a custom ornament commissioned by the Somersworth Festival Association to commemorate the 35th Annual Somersworth, NH International Children's Festival.
