The Worshipful Company of Pewterers has been actively involved with the pewter trade since the Middle Ages. Today, one of the principal examples of this involvement is Pewter Live, which has become a noted and influential event held in the very heart of the City in the impressive surroundings of Pewterers’ Hall.

Pewter Live showcases exciting and innovative work of both established and student designers. This year we are delighted to announce that Sheriffs of the City of London, Alderman and Sheriff Fiona Woolf and Sheriff Richard Sermon will formally open Pewter Live on Tuesday 7 June and that David Nicholls, Design Editor for the Daily Telegraph, will present the Prizes on Thursday 9 June.

There are two competitions: the Student and the Open. The Student competition has three categories: Decorative Arts, Interior, Architectural and Furniture and Fashion - the Total Look. With almost 80 students and 19 professionals (7 going through to the final) the standard has been extremely high. This year, for the Open competition, the Company is looking for a piece of fine pewter to be presented to the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, who have recently become affiliated to the Company. This is a fantastic opportunity for aspiring designers to gain not only a valuable commission but a huge amount of publicity.

Pewter Live is all about encouraging innovation in design in order to exploit pewter to its fullest potential and to produce ideas which will stretch the boundaries of this marvellous metal. We wanted the entrants to bring pewter alive; to demonstrate an understanding of its inherent qualities and contemporary appeal to consumers of all ages and tastes.

The Pewter Live Committee works closely with the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen and its members to achieve a high standard that will inspire designers and manufacturers to produce the very best of British pewter.

Pewter Live could not be run without the colleges and universities which take part. Once again, our thanks go to the tutors and students for their support and the tremendous effort and enthusiasm that goes into the competition.

Master &It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Pewter Live and to show you the great variety and versatility of pewter.

The earliest examples of use of the alloy date from ancient Egypt in about 1500BC, but it only became popular in Britain during the late Roman period. With the collapse of Roman Britain and the ensuing chaos, pewter production virtually ceased and was not revived until the Ninth Century when it was confined mainly to ecclesiastical articles and jewellery. After the Norman conquest and with the general increase in wealth during the Middle Ages, the use of pewter steadily became widespread throughout English society.

Although gradually eclipsed by the introduction of porcelain in the Eighteenth Century, pewter remained in use as domestic ware and by craftsmen and designers, notably during the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau periods.

Professor John DonaldsonMaster of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers

Pewter Live 2 0 1 1

The beauty and wide utility of pewter has an enduring appeal and it is a privilege to show you the work of the designers and craftsmen of today.

CompanyThe Pewterers’ Company is an ancient and continually evolving foundation with medieval origins as a City Guild. The earliest documented reference to it is in the records of the Corporation dated 1348. The Company’s own records date from 1451. It is ranked sixteenth in the order of civic precedence among over a hundred Livery Companies.

The first charter, granted by King Edward IV in 1473, empowered the Company to regulate the trade throughout the kingdom, unlike the powers granted to the majority of other companies, whose jurisdiction was limited to the City and its environs. It could seize and destroy pewter below a certain standard, and also impose fines and other penalties on its members for failing to uphold the Craft. From 1503, an Act of Parliament required Members of the Company to register their ‘Touchmarks’, which were ‘to be recorded on Tablets of Pewter’ and kept at the Hall of the Company. The use of a Maker’s Touchmark served not only to safeguard the Craftsman, but also to enable the public to have confidence in the quality of the product.

.Today, the Company has an active and diverse membership, drawn from a wide range of backgrounds. The Company’s principal activities are the support of the pewter trade in this country, the management of its charities, supporting the government of the City of London and the Armed Forces of the Crown and maintaining a lively and enjoyable corporate social life, meeting regularly in Pewterers’ Hall.

The first Hall, completed in 1496, was destroyed in the Great Fire. The secondHall, on the same site in Lime Street, which is still owned by the Company, was demolished in 1932. The present Hall was opened in 1961.

Laila Zollinger is a Director of Wildshaw Limited, the worldwide sales agent for Minsur SA, Peru, (which produces about 35,000 tonnes of tin metal annually). Laila has been involved in the metal industry all her working life and takes a keen interest in all things tin related, from the mine to finished products.

Pewter has always held a particular fascination for Laila, due to its versatility and beauty, and the Viking’s metal of choice can be found in numerous guises in her family home. The promotion of pewter is an ongoing challenge and Laila would dearly like to see pewter regain its prestige and be seen by the public as an equal to gold and silver.

Marc Meltonville - Food Historian, Historic Royal Palaces, EnglandMarc trained in Ceramic history, form and construction. After college he went to work in the media, firstly in advertising and then the writing of children’s books. To date he has over twenty books in print.

Never losing his love of history he also worked as a volunteer at the Chiltern Open Air Museum and later worked for his County as a Museum Education Officer. Marc was first commissioned to work for Hampton Court in 1991 for the reconstruction of the Tudor kitchens and then for the first attempt at using that space for experimental work. In 2003 Marc took over the project co-ordination of the Historic Kitchens of Hampton Court Palace. In 2006 the current project was born; an experiment to look at the three centuries of occupation of the Royal kitchens. His work at the Royal Palaces has seen him lecture all over England, America and Canada, along with countless TV and Radio appearances.

Nick Munro started his career in 1987 by turning bedsprings into eggcups – an instant hit which won him the accolade of UK Young Entrepreneur of the Year. Soon afterwards he invested all the money he’d made from this initial venture into his first collection of pewter, including teapots, cafetieres and pepper mills, manufactured by ARWentworth in Sheffield.

More latterly, Nick has gone on to work with companies all over the world including Royal Selangor Malaysia and his portfolio ranges from tea pots to wristwatches, crystal to porcelain. He opened his first independent shop last year and is presently expanding his own brand into China, Korea and Japan. But it all started with Sheffield made pewter (albeit by way of a bed-spring or two!).

The object is to bring British pewter alive; to demonstrate an understanding of its inherent qualities and its appeal and relevance to contemporary consumers of all ages and tastes.

Open Category Brief 2011 – Gift for the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are Scotland’s senior Regiment and have a history dating back to 1678; they are also regarded as Scotland’s cavalry and are equipped with the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank. The Regiment has recently become affiliated to the Worshipful Company of Pewterers and, to commemorate that occasion, the Company wishes to commission a piece of pewter as a suitable gift. Alternatively, entrants are asked to design an item suitable for presentation to one of the Company’s other Service affiliations (HMS Liverpool or 3 (F) Squadron RAF). Over the next few pages you will see the final designs chosen from the preliminary judging.

Design BriefThe brief of the Open Competition is to design a suitable piece of pewter finished to a standard of excellence, which the Company could purchase to present to the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Initially, we are looking for designs that will be subjected to preliminary judging; those candidates selected will then be asked to make their designs for the final judging at Pewter Live. The design will need to incor-porate elements of the history and traditions both of the Company and Regiment; the actual object can be decided by the competitor, it may be sculptural, a centrepiece, a charger or candelabrum, chandelier, lectern or some other object of inspiration.

Judging PanelThe Master of the Company will chair the panel of judges that will be drawn from all sections of the Company.

Prize - If awarded, the first prize will be the purchase of the finished work by the Company for presentation to the Regiment; the second prize will be £1,000.

Chandelier

The design is for a twelve lamp chandelier (1) with an enamelled frieze, and symbols and emblems of the Pewterers and the Regiment. These include references that will only be apparent to the Regiment, as the Officers’ Mess is a private place. There will be images (2) of Bluidy Tam and Sergeant Ewart on two of the arms.

Images on the arms:Bluidy Tam raised the Regiment. He is held in regard by the officers and enjoyed a robust career, and served as a General in the Russian Army. In my sketch, which is taken from his portrait in the National Gallery of Scotland, he is observed holding a hand of cards, as he is reputed to have played a game with the Devil. On the opposite arm of the chandelier will be an image of Sergeant Ewart, who scarcely needs introduction, but was the man who seized the Eagle which is seen with the Prince of Wales’ feathers on the body of the chandelier..

Punch Bowl

The Punch Bowl and lid would be cast and turned to a thickness of between 3-5mm and I have pro-posed having a cast polyurethane in-sert into the base of the punch bowl to lower the centre of gravity and ensure stability when in use.

The ‘chased’ camouflage motif is created using outlines of some of the 790 Scottish Isles and echoes The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards’ global influence. The Regiment’s and Company’s coats of arms are engraved on the lid and their mottoes on the rim of the bowl. The finial, which suggests the offering of a gift, is taken from the crest of the Pewterers’ Coat of Arms, as is the base of the Punch Bowl, which is drawn from the fish tails of the two ‘seahorse supporters’. The Piper’s Ladle is inspired by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards’ haunting and incredibly moving music that has touched the lives of generations across the globe; as it is music that is surely one of the truly great unifiers.

Scots Dragoon Guards Flagon and Bowl

A magnificent Traditional Thistle shaped Drink-ing Flagon. Original design dates from the 1600s when the predecessor regiments of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards were first raised. There are 3 handles shaped into thistles (the guardian symbol of Scotland) which attach to the jug and they are to be set with amethysts or heather. 3 handles represents a Stirrup cup, which is a traditional drinking cup used amongst the cavalry and is a symbol of trust. At the top of the Flagon the crest can be found mounted on top of the lid. The crest represents the charge at Waterloo.

The bowl is a 20 inch Broad rim bowl, a unique piece which cannot be made anywhere else. Around the Broad Rim there will be an inscription “The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards” along with their motto. At the bottom of the rim there will be engraving of all of their honours and Victoria Cross Winners. Inside the Bowl there will be an embossed circular crest which will be a platform for the Jug to be placed on. On the side of the Bowl there will be intricate engravings of the charge at Waterloo. The other side of the bowl will feature the new Challenger 2

Quaich

Based on the traditional Scottish quaich. This communal drinking vessel celebrates the bond of brotherhood between the Wor-shipful Company of Pewterers’ and Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the camaraderie of the soldiers.

With a central spun pewter bowl it is encased in wood with pewter inlaid using a laser technique. Therefore it utilises the techniques of spinning, turning and casting.

the addition of the appropriate badge it would also be suitable for HMS Liverpool or 3(F) Squadron Royal Air Force.

The making process would be the casting or pressing of individual wing-forms then soldering the pieces together, alternatively a construction of a multi-part mold with soldering. With the upcoming bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo the thoughts behind the piece are based on the symbolic strength of the eagle. I am also aiming for a visual lightness within the work with a polished surface of the vertical wing structure. With

Eagle Wings Bowl

Inspiration: The eagle within the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards cap badge.The ‘Eagle Wing Bowl’ is intended as a bold centrepiece; a three-dimensional layering of eagle wings. The manufacturing context is as a bespoke gift.

Interior, Architectural & Furniture Pewter offers students tremendous potential to design contemporary interior fixtures and fittings - from handles and hooks, shelves and brackets, to light fittings, lamp bases, and bathroom accessories. Today’s homes adopt a variety of ‘looks’ - minimalist urban loft-living, country-style utility, revivalist or traditional - and most successful businesses have a corporate look which inspires confidence through its professionalism. Pewter fixtures and fittings can enhance them all.

The students were asked to design a one-off item or a range of pieces which show originality and take into account today’s trends in interior design.

Repoussé & Embossed Free Standing Mirror

I took an antique pine free standing mirror, acquired through Ebay. The idea was a mixed media object using wood, pewter and ceramic tiles. The mirror has been coated/wrapped with very low calibre (thin) sheets of pewter, embossed with erotic imagery/patterns.

Chessboard Table

I am very intrigued by the way people communicate and interact with each other. Picasso’s “Guernica” is my main inspiration for the design of these pieces. I have used techniques such as oxidation, hammering, soldering and casting to achieve the chess set and the pewter rim. The tabletop is ceramic with a crackle glaze applied on the surface .

Wishbone Lamp

This prototype utilises the conductive property of pewter to eliminate wires, as the pewter wishbone conducts the electricity from the base to the bulb. The sandcast wishbone is coated in a resin which ensures safety to the user. The base and shade are hand carved sapele hardwood. Connotations of luck from the wishbone make it an ideal wedding gift.

Pliant

A single sheet of pewter cut in circle was utilised. Not an inch was wasted. The edges were manipulated by hand to create the corrugated effect. At one end of this fan-like shape a spout is formed. At the other end, a handle made of teak wood is attached. A lid is made of the same teak.

. This design was inspired by Fibonacci and natural spirals. The Calla Lily was broken down to its simplest form and rebuilt in pewter. The clean, flow-ing lines of the wall lights would compliment any setting, be it corporate or in the home. The design was made by hand but would lend itself to large scale production easily.

The Magnetic Key Keeper

Fun for all the family, this innovative magnetic key keeper solves that ever-lasting problem of ‘Where are my keys’ Just throw your keys at the pewter dome and watch them stick to the metal sur-face, you’ll never have to look for your keys again. Pewter is the ideal metal for this stylish, minimalist and contempo-rary design as the keys will continually texture the surface and will also them-selves, be an important decorative fea-ture of the design.

Decorative Arts

Decorative ArtsThe students were asked to design a pewter item for the gift market. The design could be either functional, fun or merely decorative. We wanted them to look at the current market, bearing in mind retailers such as John Lewis or Heal’s.

The judges are seeking originality and beauty but also innovation. Students were asked to bear in mind what people need/want at the moment and to think about life-style trends. More and more people are entertaining at home: a wine chiller, a table centre piece, a modern take on the traditional vase, etc.

They also had to consider the visual benefits derived from the integration and use of colour to complement and enhance the pewter, using additional materials as appropriate. The final item had to be made predominantly of pewter. We also asked that consideration should be given to the possibility and practicality of large-scale production.

An additional theme which students were offered was to take a more architectural/interior approach. This could include accessories for interior decoration or pewter fixtures and fittings.

Prizes: First £350, Second £250 and Third £100

‘The Floating Bowl’ When I was designing my piece, I was aiming for a target audience used to life in the countryside. My research was based on nature, which led onto twigs and branches. I wanted to create an exquisite piece that has a certain unique feel to it, but is aesthetically pleasing.

Tilt Inspired by Fuller’s geodesic dome, this deceptively delicate pewter fruit bowl perfectly compliments a traditional table setting giving it a playful, interactive ‘slant’ whereby it tips with the shifting weight of its contents on its pentagonal pyramid base. Manufacturing consists of spinning and press moulding.

‘Duck Cup’ Earthenware Ceramic Cup with Cast Pewter Duck’s Feet

‘Duck Cup’ is a comical yet functional vessel for drinking that brings a hint of the surreal to everyday life. The feet have been hand modelled and cast using the Lost Wax Process, and fin-ished by hand.

Napkin Ring The skyline of London City is the influence for this napkin ring and the layer finishes. Each layer of this piece rep-resents a part of London, shiny towers, old architecture, rough estates, dirty pavements and even the grey sky. The pewter has been finished accordingly, highly finished, hammered, lightly and heavily brushed pewter with the addition of grey perspex will represent the sky.

Segmented Fruit Bowl: Raised then pierced by hand. Fruit Bowl: The inspiration for the bowl came from both nature and architecture; the segments of cit-rus fruit and the Chrysler Building in New York. I was struck by how the top of the building looked like a slice of lemon. Rearranging the segments brought the form into being. The bowl was then raised and pierced by hand.

Decorative Book

Inspired by the Book of Kells that I saw at Trinity Col-lege in Dublin, I will create an old fashioned cover for a book. This will be made in several sections and riv-eted together to create a layered surface. I will put individual designs on each of the pieces.

My Found Objects This body of work has allowed me to explore new materials and techniques. Pewter has inspired me to create many pieces through the method of sand casting. I have used a collection of natural objects: Wood, Stones, Shells and Drift Wood to cast and pour Pewter through, creating different patterns into sand below. I am taking enjoyment in the way the metal can so easily transform and pick up detail within the cast.

Water Cycle Bangle

The cyclical movement of water is represented by the form of this bangle. Uneven areas represent the unevenness of water distribution across the world. The hammered and textured pewter sits beneath or on top of the glass depending on how the bangle is worn. The pewter beneath the glass gives the effect of rippling water when it catches the light and is reminiscent of sun kissed waves. When the bangle is worn the other way the texture becomes the focal feature depicting raindrops on a window.

Nostalgia Necklace

The beginning of these drawings goes way back, when around 5 years ago a very good friend and I started sketching on the same piece of paper and created a single draw-ing together. By wearing this necklace, I cease feeling nostalgic and homesick as it takes me back home. In order to turn these into an actual three-dimensional object, and in particular jewellery, a very fine outcome is desired. After a lot of experimentation, I ended up choosing rubber moulding, which is more precise and detailed. Each piece is a different shape and pattern, but all the pieces are linked like a jigsaw, one fitting into the other.

The Peacock’s Wing Fascinator

A new take on a fascinator, my inspiration comes from the repetitive movements of waves caressing the shore. The shimmer and the shapes of the feathers on a peacock’s body is captured through the decorative process of etching pewter where an effective contrast can be created between the polished and matt etched surface areas. The introduction of different leathers both creates a colour contrast and emulates the texture of the pewter pieces. This combination creates a captivating interactive piece where both the design and wearer stand out from the crowd in a unique and distinctive way.

The Association of British Pewter Craftsman

The resurgence in trade can, in the main, be attributed to the formation in 1970 of the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen (ABPC).

The initiative was taken by a group of manufacturers, the metal suppliers and the Worshipful Company of Pewterers. By promoting high standards, raising awareness of pewter and encouraging innovation and excellence in manufacturing, the ABPC has achieved impressive results and together with the Pewterers’ Company, has helped to establish British pewter firmly in both domestic and international markets.

The application would receive the filing date of the actual date of submission of the application but the exhibition disclosure will not be taken into account for the purpose of assessing qualification for Registered Design protection. Registered Design protection is also available in the UK only.

Further Details. Advice regarding asserting Unregistered Design Rights and the procedure involved in applying for the Registered Design Rights can be obtained at no charge by the authors of the designs (or with their written permission) by application to The Clerk, The Worshipful Company of Pewterers, Pewterers Hall, Oat Lane, London EC2V 7DE by post or email to [email protected] .
