Design Inspiration:
"Since the early 1700s, the Maple Leaf has been a widely recognized symbol of Canada. With the exception of the northern territories, there is at least one species of maple tree found in each of our provinces. This year's design was created first by capturing impressions of real leaves by casting them as finely as possible in pewter. As a Canadian, it is an honour and a pleasure to bring such a highly regarded international symbol into this year's ornament."
Made in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia
Maple Leaf 2004 Collector Ornament | Amos Pewter
The artisans at Amos Pewter are proud to be keepers of time-honoured pewter practices and methods while at the same time offering innovative designs inspired by nature and our beautiful coastal surroundings.
Amos Pewter's artisans carefully ladle hot, free-flowing molten pewter from the melting pot and capture it in a spinning mould formed from a wax sculpture carved in detail to mirror the original hand-drawn design. Once removed from the mould, each piece is carefully hand-finished in a process that ensures excellence in craftsmanship.
Amos Pewter was the first artisan shop in Nova Scotia to become a member of the international Economusee network whose mission is to showcase traditional trades and skills. Amos Pewter is crafted in picturesque Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.
