Our artisans in a seaside village in Nova Scotia begin each whimsical piece as a sketch which is then sculpted in clay. The sculpture is used to make a mold from which each item is cast in lead-free pewter, before being finished and polished entirely by hand.
My family has always enjoyed Nova Scotian pewter - at least 2 generations back. Delightful to be able to get a few pieces even though we are so very far away.
