Seagull Pewter products are created, designed and handcrafted in the small fishing village of Pugwash on Nova Scotia’s northern shore. Pewter is a precious alloy metal made of at least 92% tin. Seagull Pewter exceeds the minimum tin content, which makes for a better quality pewter. Like platinum and gold, pewter does not tarnish and modern pewter is safe for everyday use.

All Seagull Pewter designs are sculpted and created by artists and designers. The company then makes moulds from the originals before casting replicas in fine pewter by pouring molten pewter into the mould. Once cooled, the design is carefully extracted from the mould, buffed and finished by hand by skilled craftsmen.
