It is different from American and English pewter, which are made primarily of tin and are more delicate. Mexican Pewter is often compared with the look and durability of silver. But unlike silver and other pewter, Mexican pewter does not tarnish and requires very little maintenance. Each piece of Mexican pewter is separately sand cast by hand. Molten metal is poured into molds made of sand. The item is then carefully polished by metalcraft artisans, leaving it with a bright and shiny finish that is also slightly rustic. Each piece is an individual product of the craftsman’s hands, and slight variations, minor imperfections, and artisanal touches are therefore to be expected. Mexican Pewter can be used for any type of food, including salads. Features: • Cactus Flowers, Separated, Divided Serving Dish Size: Unisex 14.5 in x 11" Condition: Pre-Owned Good
