Spinning
The highly-skilled craftsmen at Salisbury, Inc. create individual pewter pieces using age-old spinning techniques. A flat disk of pewter is clamped into the spinner’s lathe where it is gently formed into the desired vessel or shape. This time-honored artistry remains as one of the oldest crafts in American history. The learning process for a spinner – from apprentice to journeyman to master – can take ten years or more. A spinner’s patience and skill combine to create heirloom quality pewter that will be handed down through generations. CastingThe pewter manufactured by Salisbury, Inc. is a lead-free alloy of metals comprised of 93% tin and a 7% mixture of antimony, copper and bismuth. Much of our pewterware is manufactured cast pewter. Casting has been in existence for hundreds of years, and even today is the dominant method of producing pewter. Through a process of centrifugal casting, molten pewter is poured into permanent molds where it is allowed to cool and then prepared for finishing, whether to a smooth satin surface or polished to a bright, shiny patina. EngravingSalisbury, Inc. offers custom hand engraving as well as computerized engraving. Our hand engravers, masters of their trade, create delicate designs through the meticulous process of cutting shallow lines into the pewter with a sharp graver. Whether by hand or machine, a custom engraved pewter piece by Salisbury, Inc.is a treasured remembrance that will hold special meaning to last a lifetime.
