Greetings From Gibson Pewter

Thank you for your support in 2017. We enjoyed a busy Holiday Season and have spent the past several weeks rebuilding inventory and creating three new product designs for 2018.

We're thrilled to be able to introduce to you our 2018 Annual Ornament, Hammered Maple Leaf. Each hand cast ornament has a wonderful reflective quality from the distinctive hammered pattern on both sides. It's an iconic symbol and a great addition to our ornament line.

The John Townsend Tulip Pint Mug with ball terminal handle is a classic form and a reproduction of a period example in my collection. John Townsend is probably the most widely recognized 18th century English Export pewterer. He worked in London from 1748 until his death in 1801. He had a number of partnerships and was succeeded by his Son-in-Law and Grandson.

The Small Billings Porringer is a reproduction of one made by late 18th century Providence, Rhode Island pewterer, William Billings, circa 1791-1806. The attractive flower handle is referred to as the "pagoda" type based on the distinctive shape of the handle tip. This would be an ideal baby porringer! We can stamp the child's first initial on the handle's central shield.

Progress on New Shop

We look forward to hearing from all of you this year and showing those of you who are able to visit in person the wonderful progress that has been made out in the barn workshop and Learning Center during the winter months!

With all good wishes,
Jon, Camille, Emily & Lily Gibson
