Exhibition on Display: March 25–June 1, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. Pewter, a tin-based alloy, played a significant role in households from ancient times to the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was used for everything from tableware and drinking vessels to decorative items. Pewter was relatively affordable compared to precious metals like silver or gold, but it featured a warm, lustrous appearance, making it desirable for those seeking to emulate wealth and status. The "American Brilliant Period" (roughly 1876–1916) saw the rise of fine, hand-cut crystal, characterized by high lead content for brilliance, and gained worldwide recognition for its elegance and intricate designs. Both cut crystal and pewter have historically used lead in their fabrication with notable results in the appearance of the glass metal.TX.AG/SUAB (http://TX.AG/SUAB)
