The Story Behind the Product
Known in Mexico as Pewter - Estano in Spanish - Authentic Mexican Pewter is an alloy composed of aluminum, copper and silica. (Aluminum for brilliancy and sheen, copper for malleability and silica for strength.) This incredible alloy was developed years ago by Mexican Metalworkers, who were working to find a durable substitute for precious metals. (This alloy is not the same as traditional European pewter which contains high quantities of lead and is produced by a completely different process). At our foundries in Old Mexico, each item is individually fired and hand-cast in sand molds, one piece at a time. The curing and finishing process involves exactness in temperature, water droplets and dusting. Each item is then carefully polished by local artisans to create a brilliant finish. Finally, the pieces are hand-washed, hand-buffed again and packaged for export. The finished product has unique, natural markings, showing it is a genuine product of the craftsman's hands. The entire process takes many hours.
The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.

I bought one for a gift and liked it so well that I bought 2 more to keep one and give another as a gift. Very attractive and usable even if you have a hundred platters and bowls for serving. I had seen another one like it in a specialty store for twice the price.
