It is impossible for those at Salisbury Pewter to be deaf to the whispering of their heritage. They bring you the Carolina Pewter Cups designed in the unique image of colonial pewter beakers and julep cups. With the introduction of the Carolina Collection, Salisbury hopes to focus new attention on the Pewterers of the Carolinas and gain support in finding lost samples of their work.Engrave and personalize this item for just $12 more.Because there were so few Carolina Pewterers and, as history suggests, so much of their work was lost during the Civil War, few pieces of Carolina Pewter are known to exist today. Almost certainly, there are some pieces of Carolina Pewter which are yet to be identified. Of particular interest is the lack of known hollow-ware, as they can find no surviving cups, beakers, tankards and the like.
Please check your pewter for the marks of these almost forgotten craftsmen. If you believe you have located a piece of Carolina Pewter or pewterer's tools, please contact Salisbury, Inc.

Often used as presentation pieces, early Southern silver was frequently elaborately engraved or monogrammed...You may wish to follow this tradition.

Truly a southern tradition, the simple and elegant Julep Cup appeared in a variety of forms throughout the early South. The Mississippi Cups were inspired by the work of George MacPherson, working in Natchez, circa 1850, who was perhaps the most prolific and successful of the early Mississippi silversmiths. Natchez seems to have been the gateway to Mississippi in the early 1800s and provided us with a good quantity of early silver.Engrave and personalize this item for just $12 more.Starting at: $23.50

The elegant Julep Cup, long a favorite among Southerners, has a well-deserved place in the history of Southern craftsmanship. The Tennessee Julep Cups, inspired by the work of Campbell and Donigan working in Nashville from 1839 - 1855, reflects the contrasts of early Tennessee life...bountiful and at the same time elegant in their simplicity. As recently as 1970 it was thought by many that there were only four Tennessee silversmiths prior to 1850. We now know of at least fifty, most of whom have no known surviving examples of their work..but the search continues.Engrave and personalize this item for just $12 more.Starting at: $52.00
