Well Spoon

Eat with a spoon whose shape has not changed since 1640. Our Pewter Well Spoon is hand cast from a bronze mould, with a deep rounded bowl and a slightly tapered handle.

Each one is hand cast in some of the finest British Pewter at our Birmingham workshop, cast the same way it would have been in 1640. The shape is what makes it, a spoon that feels right in the hand because it was designed before stylistic fashions got involved. It weighs around 52g and arrives in a presentation box, a good gift for history enthusiasts, English Civil War buffs, collectors of period replicas, milestone birthdays or christenings.

The design dates back to 1640 and the English Civil War, the period of Cromwell, Roundheads and Cavaliers, when most British households kept their cutlery in cast pewter rather than anything fancier. Three hundred and eighty-five years on, the design still holds up. It is one of the more historically interesting pieces among our pewter spoons.

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.
