Cutting-edge 3D technology meets old-world craftsmanship — fine pewter, made in the USA.
At Sparta, we combine cutting-edge 3D technology with exceptional craftsmanship so every order is produced with precision and delivered on schedule. Quality is built into every stage, but it is our artistic vision that truly sets us apart — we work closely with clients to capture their exact style.
Every Sparta product begins with our designers and artists, who blend traditional sculpting with advanced 3D scanning, printing, milling, and laser technology. Once an original model is perfected, it is used to create moulds for fine pewter casting. Molten metal is poured into the moulds and, after cooling, each piece is carefully removed. The castings are oxidized, then hand-polished and buffed to the perfect luster, and finally painted or assembled as the design requires.

A premium alloy of mostly pure tin with a little antimony and copper for strength. Among the most precious metals in common use — behind only platinum, gold, and silver — it is naturally tarnish-resistant.
It holds crisp detail from casting, feels substantial in hand, resists tarnish, and develops a signature soft patina that only adds to its character over time.

Wash in warm water with mild dish soap and dry with a soft cloth. Keep it out of ovens and dishwashers — high heat and harsh detergents can permanently damage the metal.
Pewter is naturally tarnish resistant, so it does not blacken the way sterling silver does. What it develops instead is a patina, a soft mellowing of the surface that comes from handling and time. On an antiqued finish it deepens the recesses and makes sculpted detail separate more sharply.
Yes. Modern pewter is a lead free alloy of tin, antimony and copper. Historic and antique pewter often did contain lead and should be treated as decorative rather than used for food or drink.
No. Our designers and artists can start from a sketch, a photograph, a written description or an existing logo, blending traditional sculpting with 3D scanning, printing, milling and laser technology. If you have an idea and nothing else, that is a normal place to begin.
Yes. Pewter takes engraving well because the alloy is soft enough to cut cleanly and dense enough to hold a crisp edge. That makes it practical to add a name, a date, a unit or a serial number to an otherwise standard casting without paying for a separate tool.
