What is Tudric pewter?

Tudric pewter is a high-grade alloy utilised by Liberty and Co for decorative metalware during the early twentieth century. It allowed designers to create complex, organic forms associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. Items produced in this metal range from candlesticks and clocks to domestic tableware and tea sets, often bearing model numbers stamped into the base.

How do I identify Cymric silver?

Cymric silver items are identified by their distinct Celtic Revival and Art Nouveau aesthetic, incorporating interlace patterns, stylized plant motifs, and cabochon stones. These pieces typically carry specific hallmarks relating to Liberty and Co or their manufacturing partners like WH Haseler.

How should I clean silver and pewter?

Silver and pewter require gentle maintenance using non-abrasive cloths to preserve the original surface texture and patina. Harsh chemical dips should be avoided, particularly on items featuring enamel or set stones. Store pieces in dry environments to prevent tarnishing and protect fragile elements like glass inserts or pearl drops from impact.

Are these items hallmarked?

Many sterling silver items feature traditional assay office hallmarks that indicate the year of manufacture and the maker's mark. Pewter objects are usually stamped with model numbers and trade names rather than full hallmarks. Checking the base or reverse of an object typically reveals these stamps and numbers.
