A Message from Jon Gibson
Greetings from Gibson Pewter in historic Hillsborough Center, NH. Our extremely long winter, with near record amounts of snow, helped set the stage for an ambitious production schedule of new design work.
Our new Fluted Bud Vase stands 7 inches tall and has a beaded edge on the foot. It’s a simple, yet elegant design and a wonderful gift item. Priced at $45. The Fluted Candlesticks stand a handsome and formal 9 inches tall and have a beaded edge on the socket. These tall candlesticks are a wonderful addition to the lighting line! Priced at $185 per pair.
I look forward to hearing from all of you again this year. And, I hope you’ll make time to visit the shop if you’re in the area. Your support continues to inspire us to keep the age old craft of pewtering alive!
With all good wishes,

Dear Friends, 
This year we are proud to add four new pieces to our product line. We’re also eager to give you a sneak peak of the new, almost ready for sale, Queen Anne Teapots!
Last summer, I acquired a rare 18th century geometric handle porringer at auction. I’ve waited many years to find one, and with it for inspiration, we now have our 8th different large porringer handle design! Priced at $85.
Last, but certainly not least, we’re happy to introduce Mr. Moose.With so many of the real variety appearing in our woods, it seemed fitting to add this wonderfully detailed pewter casting to our figurine line. He stands 2.5 inches high and is 3 inches long. Priced at $20.
