Know before you buy
Yes, the compote is crafted from 100% lead-free, food-safe pewter. It is perfectly suitable for holding fresh fruit or other food items.
Pewter is a low-maintenance metal that develops a beautiful patina over time. To clean, simply hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Absolutely. Its stable base and generous 8.2-inch diameter make it an excellent vessel for floral displays, though we recommend using a liner if you are using a floral foam or water to protect the metal's finish.
Unlike silver, pewter does not tarnish in the traditional sense. It will gradually darken and develop a soft, matte patina with age, which is considered a desirable characteristic of the material.
Avoid using harsh abrasives or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. Additionally, the piece is not dishwasher safe and should always be washed by hand.
