Red Kite Pin

Red Kite Pin

Pin a bird that came back from the brink to your lapel. The Red Kite Pewter Pin catches its unmistakable silhouette in some of the finest British pewter, at 20mm tall and 12mm wide.

Hand cast at our Birmingham pewter workshop, this pewter red kite pin is one of those small pieces where the craft really shows, with feather detail that rewards a proper look. A touch smaller than some of our other bird pins, it is sized for a lapel, a scarf, a tweed cap or a wax jacket. Each pin weighs 10g and arrives mounted on an A. E. Williams card.

The red kite is one of Britain's great conservation success stories, a bird that now soars over half the country. That makes this a natural choice for birdwatchers, conservationists, Mid Wales walkers or anyone who has stood in a field watching one circle overhead.

A Pewter Maker picking up an Antique Mould

A E Williams (Est 1779) Ltd is one of Britain's oldest pewter makers, still run by the family that founded it nearly 250 years ago. 


The story began when Thomas Williams started a small workshop making flatware and dishes from his home on the Welsh border, and from there the craft passed down through eight generations of the same family, all the way to Rebecca Johnson, who joined the business in 2015. 


Today we're based at our workshop in Digbeth, Birmingham, where we've been since the early 1970s.

OUR STORY
Pouring molten pewter into a bronze mould

We work from a collection of over 1,500 antique bronze moulds, some of which are centuries old. Many were made by hand long before machine tooling existed, and we still use them today, alongside moulds and skills of our own, to produce pieces with the kind of character that mass production simply can't replicate.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At A E Williams, the materials we work with have been chosen over nearly 250 years of making things properly. Pewter sits at the heart of everything we do, but we also work with slate, glass, leather, and wood — each selected because it brings something the others can't: a different feel, a different occasion, a different kind of beauty.

Whatever you're looking for, every material we use is chosen to last, and to look better for it.
