If you’ve got pewterware that’s in need of a little care and attention, we’d love for you to send us a picture or bring it in to the workshop so we can take a look and give you a quote. We aim to finish all repairs within 28 days.

UEFA Champions League
Every player in the UEFA Champions League receives a medal for their participation, and in 2010 we were lucky enough to be asked by UEFA to supply them. Each medal was gold plated with the UEFA Champions League logo across the back.
Harry Potter
The Great Hall at Hogwarts has to be the most impressive set in Harry Potter, and you wouldn’t believe how many of our items are in there! Tudor goblets, pewter plates, rice bowls and more, they’re all part of the scene - and we even supplied items like a flagon measure for use in the Leaky Cauldron.

Westeros is a fully realised fantasy world, and everything within it has to look real. We’ve been producing goblets, bowls, plates and more for every series so far (long may it continue - we’re such big fans!), and each item is finished to give it an authentic feel.

In 2012 Walt Disney Pictures and Tim Burton came together to make the hit animation film Frankenweenie. We were approached to make belt buckles with a Frankenweenie design as gifts for the whole of the Frankenweenie cast after production, including famous faces such as Winona Ryder, Martin Landau and Michael Keaton!
PGA European Tour
In 2009 we were approached by European Tour to create a bespoke trophy, inspired by the old traditions when all the Tour trophies were pewter. Since then the PGA has come back to us each year for new trophies.

For the 10th anniversary of the hugely popular Christmas movie, The Polar Express, Warner Brothers asked us to recreate one of the film’s iconic items, used by actor Tom Hanks - the Conductor’s watch.
Titanic
We’ve actually got multiple links to the Titanic. Not only have we provided pewter for use in the 1997 Oscar winning movie, we actually also have an original cutlery set from the ship itself, which we were given by a private collector so we could mould them and recreate them in pewter.
BBC Oliver Twist
In the BBC’s 2007 adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist you can see one of our pewter rice bowls taking centre stage with Oliver (William Miller) as he asks “Please sir, can I have some more?”.

Qatar Airlines were looking for some items for their Cabin Crew uniforms. Firstly we created a gold plated scarf ring with their logo engraved on it. Next we produced gold plated pewter buttons for the Crew members’ blazers, each with the airline’s logo.
Manchester United
When Manchester United wanted to present their long standing Trustees with a special token, they asked us to recreate the Theatre of Dreams for them. As well as the replica of Old Trafford, we also created medals made to fit onto the plinth that it stood on.
CIA
In November 2015 we were approached by a member at the CIA as they wanted someone to produce corporate giftware specifically for them. We produced a cufflink and pocket watch set in a display trunk with their famous logo on!
Historic Royal Palaces
After years of working close with Historic Royal Palaces we were asked to produce some items for Britain’s only Royal Chocolate Kitchen at Hampton Court Palace. We made a bespoke chocolate pot and chocolate frame for display and also to be used throughout demonstrations. They had to be as close to the original items as possible, so we used our range of antique brass moulds and all our team’s expertise!
