You feel quality and craftsmanship when you hold an Aitkens Pewter creation in your hand. That's because you're also holding more than 45 years of dedication to the art of producing pewter products of the highest standard. Aitkens Pewter craftspeople employ the time-honoured metal-craft skills of casting and spinning.
Products such as coasters, frames, jewelry and ornaments are cast from molten pewter, chased and finished. Hollowware - products such as mugs, goblets, vases and bowls - is spun on a lathe with the cast handles and stems carefully brazed into place. When each piece is completed, it's polished by hand and carefully placed in its package.

Services
For more than 45 years, Aitkens Pewter has been producing some of the finest pewter creations available anywhere. Based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, a city famous for its artistic and cultural flair, Aitkens Pewter is dedicated, not only to creating quality products, but also, to providing excellent service at our Fredericton retail store.
In the past, it was a great tradition to have your ornament reserved for you each year, with your unique serial number stamped into each piece of your collection. We will keep records for you of which number(s) are held for you, and notify you early when the ornaments are ready for purchase. Contact information stored for annual ornaments will not be used for other marketing campaigns without your express permission.
Ever wonder what pewter looks like before it is turned into one of your family heirlooms, or how many steps it takes to make a candle snuffer? Our newly constructed studio at 698 McLeod Avenue now gives you an up close and very personal view of what we do. Being able to interact with our craftspeople and browse our showroom is sure to delight all age groups.
At Aitkens Pewter we have perfected the art of quickly producing high quality pewter jewelry, ornaments, and souvenirs. Because of our polished production practices, we are always ready to take on new wholesale partners. New wholesale customers can choose to receive a free display unit with their first order.
The word custom comes into play when we can't find what we want or need in the mainstream offering. Over the past 45 years Aitkens Pewter has realized literally thousands of projects from what began as a conversation about a need or a vague idea - often a napkin sketch.
There is a perception that "custom" is synonymous with "expensive", but this isn't necessarily the case with Aitkens because so much of our work is custom that over the years we have optimized a very clear and deliberate process.We will be glad to discuss cost and timelines with you before we begin work on your project.
