Were you born too late? Do you prefer the clutter of a Victorian parlor to the sterility of contemporary decor? Would you rather waltz the night away than stand in line at the latest club? When someone says “clean lines,” do you envision Shaker furniture? Bring your sense of tradition to the table with Match Convivio Pewter.

It’s impossible to think of pewter without thinking of history. Pewter is an alloy of tin and other metals, such as bismuth, antimony, silver, copper (and in earlier times, lead), which has been used for thousands of years for decorative and useful items. The first known pewter piece found in an Egyptian tomb dating from 1450 B.C. The Romans used pewter made with large proportions of lead, and by the 12th century, French guilds had established an official pewter formula. In Europe, pewter was first used only by the wealthy, or the Church. As time wore on, however, it became more affordable and, until the advent of porcelain, appeared on tables from the most elegant dining rooms to the roughest taverns.

Now, the Match pewter Convivio collection brings the pewter tradition home. Its pewter and ceramic pieces, handmade in Italy using time-honored craftsmanship, hearken back to the best of old pewter, with its warm patina and a maker’s mark, yet are simple enough to match today’s popular styles. Don’t fret if you don’t have the domestic staff of a queen; your white pewter requires no special polishing. Just pop it in the dishwasher, use a low setting, and add non-lemon liquid soap.

Unlike the pewter of old, Convivio pewter contains absolutely no lead and is FDA-approved, so you can feel confident using it to serve your family and friends. The pewter bases protect the ceramic ware from breakage, making it a wonderful choice for entertaining and family dining. Should you misplace or damage a piece, however, Match provides a replacement service at reasonable prices.

For thousands of years, people have used their pewter to celebrate, serve, and share with friends and family. Pewter has reflected the glow of countless candles, been displayed on hundreds of sideboards and passed down from generation to generation. By selecting Match pewter for your family, you join centuries of tradition–a tradition of beauty and practicality that you can pass down to your children.
