Know before you buy
The ornament is handcrafted from high-quality, glistening pewter.
This ornament is designed and handcrafted by award-winning Maine artisan Ken Kantro of Lovell Designs.
While categorized as a holiday ornament, its nautical theme and pewter finish make it a versatile decorative accent that can be displayed on a stand or shelf throughout the year.
Pewter has a substantial, quality feel. Because it is a solid metal, it is best placed on a sturdy branch toward the center of the tree to ensure it hangs securely.
Pewter is a durable metal that generally requires very little care. You can maintain its luster by occasionally wiping it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
