PEWTER SILVER GIFT ITEMS

Pewter Silver Gift Items

Pewter is made mainly from tin. Modern pewters contain at least 90% tin that is alloyed with copper, antimony, or bismuth.

Malaysia is a major producer of tin. Up until the 1970s, Malaysia was the world's largest producer of tin, accounting for about a third of world tin output. Today, Malaysia remains one of the largest tin producers and smelters in the world.

Malaysia, with about 1.2 million tons of tin reserves, has the fourth largest tin reserves in the world after China, Indonesia and Brazil. In terms of production and smelting volume, Malaysia remains among the top-10 countries.

It is not surprising, therefore, that Malaysia is at the forefront of pewter design and production. Malaysian companies, such as the Royal Selangor, Selwin and Temasik Pewter are known throughout the world.

We carry products from these well-known companies and more.

It should be noted that the tin production has increased significantly over the last few decades. Between 1991 and 2005, tin production increased by 89% from 186,300 tons to 351,800 tons per year. This reflects increasing demand for tin. For this reason, it is believed that world tin deposits may be depleted within 20 years! So buy your pewter now. Prices are bound to rise.
