Greetings from Gibson Pewter,
The unusually mild winter in New Hampshire has allowed many customers to travel up to the Shop without fear of snow, or ice. It's been great seeing folks during a time period which is usually quiet in the pewter shop. Nonetheless, we've had a chance to come up with several new designs which we're eager to show off.
The Medium Porringer with Old English Handle has a new look. We've abandoned the basin bowl and gone to the larger, 4.25" bowl used on the Flower Handle and Medium Jones Porringers. The Old English Handle is larger than it's predecessor as well. The overall length of handle and bowl on this porringer is 6". A classic form with many potential uses!
The Small Wine Coaster, 4.5" in diameter, is a scaled down version of the large Wine Coaster which measures 6.5" in diameter. They both have the distinctive beaded edge as well as two incised lines on the gently flared outside wall. A regular size bottle of wine fits nicely inside of the new smaller coaster. A great gift item at an affordable price!
The Traveling Chalice looks quite similar to the R. Gibson Chalice. A number of Clergy have recently asked me to design and make a small chalice. I'm quite pleased with the final design, and judging from the brisk sales, I'd say these little beauties are here to stay. The overall height is 4.25".
The Salt & Pepper Bowls are wonderful new additions to the product line. At 2.75" in diameter each with a wall thickness of .070, the little guys are as rugged as they are cute.
One is stamped "S" and the other "P". We can stamp other letters for the cook that wants the full suite of herbs and spices on their stovetop! A great gift item!
Our new Charm Bracelets are fun for adults and kids. Pick the charms you want, or buy them ready made. The large has 8 charms and the small has 6 charms.
We're looking forward to seeing and hearing from you all again this year. We'll be sharing some exciting business expansion news next month as well as rolling out some new antique pieces which I was able to acquire this winter :)
With all good wishes,
Jon & Camille Gibson
