This versatile canister features an Italian pewter base stamped with symbols representing our workshop, our company, and the tin content of our alloy. The handsomely tiered lid conceals a neoprene ring that creates a tight seal with the ceramic base. This stealth seal serves a dual purpose. It keeps the contents safe from the elements while keeping your middle-of-the-night cookie raid a secret by eliminating any scraping or clanging noise between lid and base. That base, incidentally, has a subtle pattern of undulating ridges that recalls the look of a hand-thrown piece. 8.4" dia x 7.8" h item 1515.0 Pewter Tarnishes very slowly and requires almost no maintenance. Should you want to polish your pewter, almost any metal polish will do. Read the container before you purchase. Match Pewter does not contain lead and is completely food safe. To clean your pewter after using it to serve food, hand wash in warm water using a liquid dish soap. Dry the pewter completely. Pewter is NOT microwave or oven safe.
