Pewter Pitchers For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are several options of pewter pitchers available for sale. Frequently made of metal, pewter and ceramic, all pewter pitchers available were constructed with great care. Pewter pitchers have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Pewter pitchers made by Art Nouveau designers — as well as those associated with Victorian — are very popular at 1stDibs. Pewter pitchers have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, Gunnar Havstad and Just Andersen are consistently popular.

How Much are Pewter Pitchers?

Prices for pewter pitchers can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, pewter pitchers begin at $60 and can go as high as $22,000, while the average can fetch as much as $659.

Finding the Right Pitchers for You

Perfect for entertaining, a dinner party or a small luncheon, vintage, new and antique pitchers are versatile pieces to keep in any collection.

Whether you’re dining in the great outdoors, freshening up drinks in the living room or making a batch of fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast in the kitchen, a pitcher is a must-have feature of your dining and entertaining set.

Prior to indoor plumbing and the advent of sinks, people paired a pitcher with a wash basin on their bedside stand. Today, an antique washstand might be used as a nightstand or bedside table. These pitchers, along with the washstand, were essential in any bedroom.

Today, in displaying vintage ceramic pitchers on your Welsh kitchen dresser or in a corner cupboard, you’re inviting a pop of color and an alluring texture to mingle with your other serveware. But when entertaining, you’re likely going to put this decorative vessel to work. Some glazed stoneware and metal pitchers are outfitted with hinged lids to provide insulation, while potters and other craft artists at the time might have made complementary glasses or teacups to pair with their pitchers for a complete serving set. Glass and stoneware pitchers are perfect for serving beverages, but if you’re serving from a metal pitcher, you’ll want to ensure that the material is food-grade stainless steel.

For a simple home accent, consider using that wonderfully aging vintage metal pitcher as a vase for your flowers (be sure to use a watertight plastic liner or insert) or as a receptacle to display and organize your cooking utensils. Given the venturesome design sensibility that we associate with mid-century modernism, a mid-century modern pitcher is going to prove a unique and sophisticated decorative touch to any room in your home. While your farmhouse-style interior is practically begging for the earthy tones of a terracotta pitcher, an ironstone pitcher will bring ornate details to your mantel.

Find a collection of new, vintage and antique pitchers today on 1stDibs.

Questions About Pewter Pitchers
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Uses for pewter pitchers vary. Ones that are food safe are great for serving water, iced tea and other beverages. Pitchers that aren’t food safe can function as vases or as standalone decorative objects. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of pewter pitchers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Whether pewter is worth anything depends on a variety of factors, including what the piece is, who made it and how old it is. The current demand for similar pewter ware and the condition of the piece will also impact how much it's worth. A certified appraiser who is knowledgeable about pewter can give you an estimate on the value of a specific piece. On 1stDibs, find a selection of pewter tableware and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    A pewter pitcher is made out of a metal called pewter. The material is an alloy produced out of tin and another metal or element like bismuth, silver, copper or antimony. Some older pewterware is a combination of tin and lead. Use this type of pitcher only as a decorative object because it’s not food-safe. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of pewter pieces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    No, you can't store lemonade in a pewter pitcher. Although the beverage won't cause visible damage, its high acidity can strip away the metal, contaminating the lemonade and altering its taste. Generally, you should never serve or store beverages in any vessel that's not marked as food-grade. Shop a collection of pitchers on 1stDibs.
