Swallow Pin

Swallow Pin

Pin a sign of spring to your coat. The Swallow Pewter Pin catches a swallow in mid flight with wings swept and forked tail trailing, sculpted in some of the finest British pewter.

Hand cast at our Birmingham pewter workshop, this pewter swallow pin is one of those small pieces where the craft really shows. At 30mm tall and 30mm wide it is sized for a lapel, a scarf, a coat collar or a hat. Each pin weighs 10g and arrives mounted on an A. E. Williams card, ready for giving.

The swallow has long stood for hope, renewal and safe journeys, which is why sailors once tattooed them on their forearms. The bird turning up in spring still feels like good news. That makes this pin a natural choice for travellers, returning sailors, bird lovers or anyone who simply likes swallows.

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.
