Did you know that most Mexican pewter is made in the state of Jalisco? Mexican pewter is a combination of a lead-free alloy of tin, copper and antimony which makes it safe for food and drink, however it is not recommended for cooking. It is different from American and English pewter, which are made primarily of tin and more delicate. Artifacts made from Mexican pewter are handcrafted by skilled artisans, one piece at a time, using the ancient art of sand casting. This whimsical two-piece serveware set weighs 1 lb. 6 oz. and measures as follows:
Oval Underplate: 7¼” x 5¼” x ½” W/D/H
Oval Bowl: 6” x 4¾” x 2” W/D/H
To care for the set, it’s best to wash and dry by hand. You may use a mild aluminum cleaner to enhance its brilliance, if desired. Note, acidic foods such as those containing lemon juice or vinegar may discolor the finish. As with all things in life that are adoringly vintage, there is age-appropriate wear (as seen in the photos) from normal use that does not diminish the set’s beauty or utility.
