Poppy Letter Opener

Keep a small act of remembrance on your desk. The Poppy Pewter Letter Opener carries the remembrance poppy at its handle, four petals and a slender stem, with the blade tapering cleanly to a point.

The poppy bloomed across the battlefields of Flanders and has been carried in memory ever since. Handmade in our Birmingham pewter workshop in some of the finest British Pewter, it measures 16.5cm long and 2.8cm wide and weighs around 31g. Pewter takes on a soft patina, which feels fitting for a piece about remembrance. It arrives in an A. E. Williams box. Many customers buy these in memory of someone specific.

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.
