Match 1995 pewter is all handcrafted in Italy. There's a deep lineage of pewter-making in that country, and Match's founder, David Reiss, desired a way to make fine pewter more accessible to people the world over. He was enraputred by Italian life, and one of the things he remembers most are the sounds, including the ting, ting of artisans' hammers as they worked on pewter. And so, his passion for fine pewter was born. All Match pewter pieces are made from lead-free tin, copper, and antimony. Match 1995 uses a blend of 95% pewter, making it one of the finest in the world. Pewter is tarnish-resistant which means you're on the path to turning beautiful pieces in family heirlooms.
