Pewter is a malleable metal alloy primarily composed of tin (85–99%) - with a low melting point it is easy to cast and shape into intricate designs. Pewter has been used for thousands of years for tableware, decorative objects, religious artefacts, and jewellery. Today, pewter is valued for its silver-gray appearance, durability, and craftsmanship. Although it is not a precious metal like gold or silver, it is considered valuable due to its workability, historical significance, and aesthetic appeal. About Sayers of London Sayers of London are a small, London-based business specialising in 9ct gold and sterling silver items.

They are 'assay-assured' meaning that their sterling silver & 9ct gold items are scientifically tested by the Edinburgh Assay Office to prove that they are made from exactly what they should be. FAQs Is the flask's cap attached? The cap screws off and is not attached to the flask via a clasp or hinge. How does the cap close? The cap screws on and creates a secure seal to prevent any leakage. Is pewter safe to hold alcohol? Pewter is generally safe for holding alcohol, especially short-term, and drinking spirits like whisky, gin or rum from a pewter vessel is considered safe. The pewter does not react significantly with alcohol in brief contact, and historical use of pewter flasks and goblets supports this. That said, we would recommend to avoid leaving spirits in pewter containers for extended periods. How do I clean my flask? Pewter will tarnish gently over time (many people like this effect!) but it is easily cleaned. Start with gentle hand washing using warm water and mild washing up liquid. Submerge the item or wipe it with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive materials or scrubbers. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots. How much liquid can this flask hold? This hip flask holds 8oz (UK) or approximately 230ml (exact conversion is 227.3046ml). It can happily accommodate: 8 x 25ml measures or 4 x 50ml measures. Can I get this flask engraved? Pewter is perfect for engraving. Engraving services are widely available in a range of styles and fonts. Digital Distiller does not currently offer this service.
