Silver Pewter Box, The Owl and the Pussycat - Folksy

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Metal Crafts

---

Product Description:

This little rustic wooden trinket box has been transformed with a lid of hand-crafted pewter. The romantic duo sail beneath a moon of sparkly synthetic opal. The box measures 39mm (1.5ins) across and is 30mm(1.25ins) high. A great gift for a man or woman for a wedding,anniversary,birthday or engagement.

Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand (not cast) to my own design. A pattern is raised on a sheet of pewter, then the raised area is filled. The item is then mounted on a rigid base,chemically patinated, then polished.Modern pewter is lead-free and after patination has a shiny,almost reflective,finish.It does not blacken like silver and can be brightened, if necessary,with a smear of metal polish and a buffing with a soft cloth.
