The earliest known pewter (a metal alloy, consisting primarily of tin) was made in China 2,000 years ago. But tin was used by the Egyptians as early as 3700 BC and is mentioned at least twice in the Bible. The Romans used pewter for seals of office and other small devices. It reached its peak in the 17th century with master pewters in Brussels, Nuremberg, Paris, Antwerp, London, Boston, and New York.
