It is a metal alloy that has been used for the production of household and other items since Roman times. It's made mostly of tin that has been mixed with small amounts of other metals such as copper, lead or antimony to harden it and make it more durable. Our items are made with lead free pewter. Size: The strainer is approximately 6 inches long. Made in: Providence, RI Lead time: 1 - 3 days
