(Aluminum for brilliancy and sheen, copper for malleability and silica for strength.) This incredible alloy was developed years ago by Mexican Metalworkers, who were working to find a durable substitute for precious metals. (This alloy is not the same as traditional European pewter which contains high quantities of lead and is produced by a completely different process). Each item is individually fired and hand-cast in sand molds, one piece at a time. What is Worldstock? The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly. Imported
