CARROL BOYES & PEWTER

Yes pewter is significantly more expensive than stainless steel (and most other non-precious metals) for finished tableware and décor, mainly because:
1. Tin (the main ingredient) is 810× more costly than steel.
2. Pewter pieces are almost always hand-finished or small-batch cast much higher labor cost.
3. The artisanal, sculptural aesthetic commands a premium.
So when you pick up a Carrol Boyes pewter skull spoon or Dancing Lady bowl and think why is this so pricey?, its not just the brand name pewter itself is genuinely one of the more expensive everyday metals once its turned into something beautiful by hand.
