Making An Impression With Pewter Casting
A short editorial on how a family crest or a corporate brand can be incorporated into any design for a long lasting gift or keepsake.
There is something really great about being able to stamp your family name onto an ornament or some type of keepsake. Families who are proud of their history, and want to create something they can keep for the future, sometimes want to have their crest included in the design of a unique heirloom for the generations to come. In such a throwaway society it feels special to be putting thought and care into ordering such a one-off memento.
This feeling of personalising possessions in some way means that they are regarded with perhaps more sentiment than things which are of no particular note. Certainly, people like to pass down through the family certain treasures. There is a real sense of tradition in this idea. Pewter jewellery has certainly has a classic feel to it. Whether the design is modern or more nostalgic there is no doubting that such a gift shows an appreciation of beauty and quality. A brooch made in a striking and yet elegant fashion, for example, is a lovely present to give to somebody to show that they mean something to you.
Even company bosses like to honour how highly they think of their enterprise with pewter casting which creates interesting and eye-catching gifts with the corporate logo. For award ceremonies, valued customers or even employees who have earned some extra recognition, a gift with the emblem or logo of the business included in the design is an ideal way to promote the name of the company whilst presenting someone with a gift they will want to keep. These stunning looking pieces can also be used to show off the status of the company when displayed in boardrooms, at corporate events or in glass cabinets which are viewed by clients and potential customers.
When you think of a pewter tankard you might think about times gone by, stately homes and palaces. There is a regal quality to these gifts, ornaments and home wares which has stood the test of time. Period dramas and films with lords and ladies of the manor always seem to include vases, candlesticks and hip flasks made out of this malleable metal. Although people often think about the past, some of the designs take in some more modern ideas and work just as well. Art décor clocks and boxes look appealing just as a Celtic purse mirror allows this regal metal to shine.
