'''Pewter''' is an alloy of [[tin]] and a variety of other [[metal|metals]]. Pewter [[tankard]]s are quite common. [[badge|Pilgrim's badge]]s were often made of cast pewter.
[[Period]] pewter often contained [[Wikipedia:Lead|lead]], a toxic metal. Modern pewter is an alloy of tin, copper and antimony and is more properly called [[Britannia Metal]].

Since pewter has a low melting point, it is relatively easy to work. Moulds can be made in soap [[stone]] or cuttlebone.

Pewter was easily available in the high middle ages it was much less common in the early medieval period. However, it was still expensive and the ownership of pewter in the [[16th century]] was not something that would be achievable by an average person. It was eventually replaced by [[porcelain]] [[tableware]] during the [[18th century]]
