Pewter & Glass Pieces
All of Arte Italica's pewter and glass items are handmade of Italian
pewter and
either mouth-blown glass or crystal. Mouth-blown glass is irregular in
shape and may contain small bubbles and imperfections. These qualities
are intentional and desirable, as they reflect the genuine handmade
quality of the piece. Arte Italica pewter is made
using 95% tin, which is the highest possible quality. To remove scratches, simply buff gently with
the finest grade (0000) steel wool. The pewter and glass are fused
together with a
specialized clamping machine and/or the use of a food grade sealer. All
pewter and glass items should be washed by hand using nonabrasive,
non-citrus detergent. These items should not be used in the oven,
microwave, or freezer. Pewter is a naturally soft metal and is easily
engravable.
