Fine Pewter
Pewter is a valuable precious metal in common use today and it is an alloy of primarily tin. It can be highly polished or buffed to a satin finish. Fine Pewter, like other precious metals, has set standards that specify that pewter must contain at least 92% tin. Maneli products exceed the standard of 92% pure tin. Like gold and platinum, pewter does not tarnish but as it ages it takes on a soft, even patina which is very pleasing to the eye allowing for a nice antique finish which gives more detail and contrast. Maneli designs are either originally sculpted by hand or by using 3d printing or cnc machine techniques. Moulds are then made from these originals before replicas are cast in fine pewter. Molten pewter is then carefully poured from a melting pot into a spincasting machine and then, once cooled, each piece is carefully extracted, deburred, buffed and then hand finished and polished by our artisans and craftsmen.
