Did you know?
Peacock motifs have long been associated with beauty, immortality, and refined artistry. Many Victorian designers—including those featured in the V&A’s collections—used the peacock feather as a symbol of opulence and creative expression, making it a popular choice in decorative metalwork.
Pewter is a durable and attractive material that requires very little maintenance. With simple care, your piece will retain its soft lustre and fine detail for many years.
Everyday cleaning
Wash by hand in warm water using a mild washing-up liquid. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water marks. Light buffing with a microfibre cloth will remove fingerprints.
Polishing & shine
Occasional polishing will restore the natural sheen of pewter. Use a quality pewter polish applied with a soft cloth, then buff gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or wire wool, as these can scratch the surface.
Using pewter (food & drink)
Pewter items are ideal for display and everyday handling. Drinkware should always be hand-washed and dried after use to keep the finish bright. Pewter should not be used in microwaves or ovens.
What to avoid
Do not place pewter items in a dishwasher, as heat and detergents can dull the finish. Avoid prolonged soaking, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners. Pewter is a soft metal and should be kept away from high heat or open flames.
Tip
Engraved items can be cared for in exactly the same way. Gentle cleaning and light polishing will help keep engraved details sharp and clear.
