Pewter has been around for centuries but it has been refined over the last few years to make it a food-safe metal for beautiful hand-crafted fine tableware pieces.

Easier to care for than silver tableware, pewter brings an elegant old world charm to a tablesetting. Even pieces that are not intricately detailed look elegant and intriguing. That's what caught my eye with these pieces from the Octavio and Liscio Italian Pewter line from the Patella Romana Collection. Pieces with simple lines and patterns that are so gracious, they need no frills.

Italian Pewter Cappucino/Tea Cup Set from the Octavio Collection

Made of food-grade Italian pewter, the Cappucino/Tea Cup Set includes a removable porcelain cup insert, spoon and highly polished pewter base that has a pretty petal pattern. Perfect for cappucino or tea. The pewter cup set is also available in a smaller Espresso size. Great for guest serving, gift giving or just to pamper yourself.
