"Mexican pewter" (Estaño in Spanish) is the name for a distinct alloy that bears little resemblance to traditional European pewter, which contains high quantities of lead and is produced by a different process. It was developed in the 1980s by a collective of Mexican metalworkers who were seeking a durable alternative to precious metals that would not tarnish. It is composed of aluminum, copper, and silica, with silver occasionally added in, depending on the maker. Mexican pewter is fired in sand molds, and each item is individually hand cast and carefully polished by local artisans to create a brilliant finish that is reminiscent of silver. With a much more reasonable price point, it has become a popular alternative to sterling silverware in much of the New World. It can be used in an oven as well as kept in the refrigerator, can be cleaned with simple soap and water, and has been approved by the government for a maximum temperature of 573 degrees Fahrenheit, making it incredibly versatile for food service. In addition to tableware, it is being increasingly used by artisans throughout Mexico to create decorative items like lamps, mirrors, chandeliers and much more.
