This beer stein is pewter!
Gram gave mom the pewter inkwell and the feather on the right belongs to Dauby, our swan!
When mom and dad bought our house, our kitchen was painted turquoise and hot pink! Yes, it is shocking and mom was most anxious to lose those horrible colors! The chimney cupboard doors behind these pewter candlesticks were also painted turquoise and when mom removed the many coats of paint, these candle flame burn marks appeared! YIKES! Luckily someone put out the fire before the house went up in smoke!The flame marks are there forever as a constant reminder!
Mom loves pewter and she always loved gram's set of pewter dinnerware! One year gram surprised mom and sent her the whole set! The boxes weighed a ton!Only very special company gets to eat off of these beautiful dishes!
Pewter salt and pepper shakers!
Mom bought this pewter Santa when she was in Minnesota one year visiting gram and gramp when they lived there. She bought it in a Scandinavian shop called Ingebretsen's!
Next week's color is cinnamon!So until next time..............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
You always have such interesting stuffs to show on Thursdays! We think it's very cool that your mom left the candle marks on the doors!

What a wonderful selection of pewter, but I especially love the candle burns in the wood. What a great story!

We think the candle burn marks are very cool! Too bad you don't have a "before" picture of the kitchen colors!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOur Mom loves pewter, too, but she doesn't have as much as you do. The dinnerware is really pretty. Do you have pewter dog bowls to match?
ReplyDeleteWe love all your pewter! Ours is all more pewter-colored; we need some of that authentic stuffs!
ReplyDeleteWe have never seen pewter dinner ware before.
ReplyDeleteAs always you guys have an awesome collection to demonstrate pewter.
Just loved the little santa and we know all about the perils of candles in this house!
They look pretty but they do leave their marks - especially those church ones which melt over everything.
Good work guys.
love and kisses

Lovely pewter pieces! Our mom has a good bit of pewter, too. Most of it from Belgium but one piece from Korea! (Mom and Dad lived in both countries before we were born!) Mom likes the stories behind everything - and wow, the story about your cupboard door and the flame marks!!! Incredible!

I'm always amazed by the various colors you have at home. There hasn't been one that knock you out yet! Here in Japan, Pewter is very rare, so I had a good time admiring mom's collection.

I was thinking about all the work it must have taken to get that paint off and make the wood look so nice. The burns just add character.

Am very impressed with the Pewter dinner service - wonder if I'd see it in use if I visited!!!
ReplyDeleteThe candle flame scorch marks were quite a find and I love the way you have placed candles beneath them.

We keep sayin' this. But one day we are definitely going to start playing True Colors Thursday. We LOVE seeing your choices and photos. And this week was especially fun. Moma loved it and oo'd and aw'd 'cause she loves pewter, too. She got quite a bit when she lived in Belgium. Some of it was in junk shops, buried in boxes of "stuff." It was like finding treasures. (But we all know .. WE (and is us and YOU) are the real treasures!
ReplyDeleteLove ya, M&M,
Jake and Fergi xxoo
Hot pink and turquoise for a kitchen?!? YIKES! The candle flame burn marks are great.
