The Gibson Plates (4 sizes) are all smooth rim plates with a decorative incised line near the outer edge. They are an original design, but could easily pass for 18th century style plates.

They are sturdy and ready for heavy use. Stack them, or put them on edge in the hutch when they’re off duty

The R. Gibson Chalice was my dad’s first chalice design. He was a Congregational Minister as well as a pewterer, so this piece had a special place in his heart.

As a result of his connection to the United Church of Christ, his chalices were presented, from time to time, to various church leaders in sister churches on other continents. This is truly a beautiful chalice.

The J. Gibson Chalice is an original design. At nearly 9″ in height, it’s the tallest chalice I make.

It shares the same base and shaft of the Dunham Candlestick, and the cup is from the Jumbo Tumbler. Pewterers in the 18th and 19th century mixed and matched parts too!

Each one of our chalices has a rich and gleaming finish.

The Gibson 24 oz Mug, formerly known as the Gibson Tankard, was our very first mug design. My sister, Lauren, convinced my father sometime in the summer of 1978 that we needed to add such a drinking vessel to our then, rather thin product line. Lauren created the pattern for the handle which is quite beautiful and unique. We had an old wooden chuck in the shop already which was suitable for the body and the rest, as they say, is history. These Mugs have always been numbered and we have kept a register of each owner.

This mug graced the cover of our 1979 catalog. Charles Hull of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, London summed the design up best in a note to my father when he said, “the design of your mug is straightforward, elegant simplicity, a trait sore missed in English pewter today.”

The Gibson Pint Mug is similar to those used throughout Britain in pubs in the mid-19th century. The tapered sides of the mug coupled with the flattened handle terminal present a pleasing design that was built for rigorous daily use.
