Based on examples from the early 1700s, the Boston beaker from Royal Selangor has just a few simple embellishments; a moulded base, incised lines and slightly flared lip contrast the plain body. Made from pewter it can be chilled in the freezer and then used to enjoy a sorbet or refreshing cocktail on a hot day.
Consider adding a personalised message if you're gifting it.
It's part of Royal Selangor's Liberty collection which takes the simplicity of colonial American pewter and reinterprets it into more contemporary pieces.
Pewter is almost maintenance-free as it does not react with the air to oxidise or tarnish. It can attract dust and dirt, but all that's required is an occasional wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Over time pewter develops a pleasing and subdued patina unique to the metal which is part of the beauty of investing in this material.
