The Service Plate is 11.5 inches in diameter and has a shallow bowl. These plates are mistakenly referred as chargers by the large chain stores and mail order catalogs.
The service plate is primarily used in formal place settings and lies under the actual dinner plate which are usually 10 inches in diameter. Some of our customers use these as dinner plates, and others use them for serving cheese & crackers.

The Charger is our largest serving dish with a diameter of 15 inches. If you want to serve a 20 lb. turkey, a leg of lamb or a whole lot of fresh veggies, this is your dish. A lot of people today mistakenly call a service plate a charger.
A service plate (we make one) is for formal dining and goes under your dinner plate. A charger is much larger and deeper and used for serving food. Our charger has a rolled outer edge and is made from heavy gauge metal.

The Salt Bowl & Spoon has been a great addition to the product line. Many people use different kinds of salt today. Our bowl and spoon combination is great to keep handy on the stovetop or on the tabletop. Because it is an open vessel, the salt never clumps or clogs like conventional shakers. Another great small gift idea.

The Salad Bowl is big and beautiful. My father and I used to spin these together, each of us holding a spinning tool, he on the outside, forming and my following stick on the inside, preventing the 15 inch disc from waffling at the outer edge. It always looked like a tug of war. Today, I’ve mastered the process with a tool in each hand. It’s still a battle, but the end result is well worth it. This beauty has many uses and can easily serve salad to a party of 10, or more! We use our bowl all of the time.

The Fruit Bowl was my Father’s masterpiece. It won the Steven’s Metal Award at the 17th Annual Juried Exhibit of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 1992. One year later, in 1993, it was acquired for the permanent pewter collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston along with our Woodgrain Beaker.
This bowl has always been a challenge to photograph because it has a relatively low profile, so pictures usually do it no justice. But as a testament to its beauty, more folks who buy this bowl as a gift usually confess, within a year’s time, that they kept it for themselves! Either way, it’s a great choice.

The Woodgrain Nut Bowl, like its cousin, the Woodgrain Beaker, is a unique form. It’s shaped over a wooden form and then burnished with so much pressure that the grain of the wood is imprinted into the metal.
It’s beautiful to look at and touch. It also is a conversation piece! One of our most popular pieces to be sure. In addition to our regular product information provided in each box, these pieces have a separate card describing the woodgrain effect.

The Leddell Chalice is an adaptation of an 18th century chalice made by Joseph Leddell, Sr. of New York City, circa 1740s. The original is taller, with an unusually large cup. We scaled the cup down somewhat and the proportions now seem right.
I’m pretty sure my father’s inspiration for this project was seeing a photo of an original example from the New Haven Colony Historical Society which is engraved on the cup with the words, “Drink ye All Of This” and dated 1744!

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 Stem Goblet is a beautiful form. It’s our oldest wine goblet design and has been a favorite for many years. It’s also one of the most difficult pieces I make. The cup and the stem are extremely complex forms to shape on the metal spinning lathe. It’s the kind of work I do when no one is around to hear me shout.

The Woodgrain Beaker is perhaps the most interesting cup we make. My Father and I created this cup at the suggestion of Jonathan Fairbanks, former curator of American Decorative Arts, Museum of fine Arts, Boston around 1992.
Jonathan saw our Child’s Cup with the birch grain interior and asked us to make something taller, without a handle. This cup was the end result and one of the early examples was acquired by the MFA for its permanent collection in 1993. It, along with my Father’s prize winning Fruit Bowl were the only contemporary pieces of pewter added to their collection in the 20th century! Ideal for serving Mint Juleps.
The pewter is shaped around a wooden form, or chuck, which is made from oak. Once the metal is on the form, a burnishing tool is used to apply enough pressure on the outside if the vessel to impart the grain of the form on the inside of the beaker. Truly a unique piece!

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 Tulip Pint Mug is probably the most graceful drinking vessel that I make. As my father used to say, “all the curves are in all the right places.” It shares the same type of scroll handle as the Hamlin Mug which fits wonderfully in one’s hand. I call it a pint mug, but it actually holds about 20 ozs.

The Hamlin Pint Mug is a handsome form. It is a reproduction of a mug made in the late 18th century by Samuel Hamlin and later, by his son Samuel E. Hamlin, both of Providence, RI. I seem to have a natural affinity for the Hamlins since I too grew up in Providence, and learned the pewtering craft from my father as well.

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.
