Gibson Pewter Announces New Products for 2008

This year we are proud to add four new pieces to our product line.

Last summer, I acquired a rare 18th century geometric handle porringer at auction. I’ve waited many years to find one, and with it for inspiration, we now have our 8th different large porringer handle design! Priced at $85.

Our new Fluted Bud Vase stands 7 inches tall and has a beaded edge on the foot. It’s a simple, yet elegant design and a wonderful gift item. Priced at $45.

The Fluted Candlesticks stand a handsome and formal 9 inches tall and have a beaded edge on the socket. These tall candlesticks are a wonderful addition to the lighting line! Priced at $185 per pair.

Last, but certainly not least, we’re happy to introduce Mr. Moose. With so many of the real variety appearing in our woods, it seemed fitting to add this wonderfully detailed pewter casting to our figurine line. He stands 2.5 inches high and is 3 inches long. Priced at $20.

Second-generation pewterer, Jonathan Gibson carries on the craft year-round in the same 200 year old barn where he apprenticed as a young boy. Jon is a state juried member of the League of N.H. Craftsmen and has been recognized by Early American Life Magazine as one of Americas 200 top traditional craftsmen since 1992.

Over 100 pieces of traditional and contemporary designs are available for sale. Each lead-free piece is made with hands-on care, whether cast, hammered, or spun. The Gibson Fruit Bowl and Wood-grain Beaker were the only pieces of 20th century pewter taken into the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The Gibson Pewter Shop is a Yankee Magazine Travel Guide Editor’s Pick as an outstanding reason to visit New England. The shop is open year round, Monday – Saturday 10:00am – 4:00pm, Sunday by chance. Visitors are welcome to watch work in progress.
