Design Inspiration:
Existing virtually unchanged for millions of years, the Nautilus Shell is a powerful link between the past and present. As it grows, the shell produces new and increasingly larger chambers, each sealed off from the previous, creating an exquisite spiral of many partitions over its lifetime. We too grow and develop through stages of life. These stages define our past and enable us to carry our memories with us - memories that help to shape us but do not limit whom we may become.

Nautilus 2014 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.
