Fall and Hand-Finished Pewter:  Seasonal Favorites

From the Salazar Family Studios of San Miguel de Allende

To Your Table

Hand-crafted with the use of custom-made forms, the Rustica Gift & Pottery line of pewter is from a family-owned studio in Mexico's craft-and-tradition-rich Guanajuato region. Our studio has been custom-making their pewter for over 25 years, with daughter Jalal now overseeing their excellent craftsmanship.

Today's Mexican pewter is the perfect combination of durability, ease-of-care and beauty. Largely aluminum in composition, your Pewter purchase will not tarnish, and never needs polishing. It is lightweight, and will hold its lustrous shine forever. These items are not intended for direct oven use however; we suggest not heating over 225 degrees Fahrenheit.

The combination of traditional and contemporary designs, and vibrant silver makes these collectible pieces a match made in heaven for your Talavera or Mayolica pottery collection.
