Item Description

This beautiful Old Town Punch Bowl with ladle will be a stunning addition to any buffet or entertainment activity.

Each piece from Old Town Imports is hand-crafted, one at a time, by skilled artisans. Unique markings and other variations created during the sculpting, sand casting and polishing processes, accent it authenticity and define its character. Old Town Import artisans take a carefully made disk of pewter, center it on the lathe and lubricate it with a special recipe of spinner’s soap to reduce the friction. Utilizing a spinning tool called a spinner's finger--so called because it is flat on one side and rounded on the other, resembling a finger--the craftsman firmly presses the pewter over the chuck in a series of passes. Pace is a critical element in the process of spinning pewter. If the spinner works to quickly or too slowly the metal can become fatigued and break. Great care, training, and skill is required to become a master spinner.
