Vintage SKS Pewter Pilsner Cup - Made in West Germany

Pewter has long been valued for both its durability and its artistic potential – It’s a tough alloy that resists tarnishing, yet is still malleable enough to mold into exquisite designs.  This beautiful tulip-style pewter pilsner cup depicts three lively scenes of people drinking, dancing and socializing, in a charming country setting with trees, farm animals, and a pond with ducks.

This piece was made by SKS Designs, probably in the 1960s or 1970s, from an alloy containing 95% tin, considered to be a high standard for pewter. Still, with age, there are some minor tarnish spots - please see the pictures for examples.
