Pewter Picnic-ware

Although well-trodden ground as far as many designers are concerned, reproducing a form associated with one material in another can be effective if chosen carefully and manufactured to a high standard.

These pewter cups and plates borrow their form from the archetypal paper versions. The directness and simplicity of the originals make them ideal for showing off the properties of pewter, turning the throwaway into the durable.

The pieces are made in Sheffield at A.R.Wentworth pewterers.
