The classical or opaque finish is the most traditional for pewter and, thanks to its softness and sobriety, can transmit a different and warmer feeling than other metals. Pewter opacifies very slowly and therefore it requires almost no care. After being used to serve food or beverages, objects treated with the classical finishing can be rinsed with warm water and liquid soap. If light spots should appear after a period of time, they can be easily removed using steel wool or an extra-fine soapy wire wool.

In past centuries, the polished finish was also used and makes our items more lively and sumptuous, similar to solid silver. Objects treated with a polished finish can easily be returned to their original sheen by using simple polishing products (like cotton wool for silverware), easy to find in any supermarket. If persistent scratches should develop due to the relative softness of the metal, don't worry. These marks testify that pewter objects are born, live and get old in opposition to what happens in the indestructible world of plastics, resin and steel.
