Britannia metal (also called britannium or Britannia ware[1]) is a specific type of pewter alloy, favoured for its silvery appearance and smooth surface. The composition by weight is typically about 92% tin, 6% antimony, and 2% copper.[2]
Britannia metal is usually spun rather than cast,[1] and melts at 255 degrees Celsius.[3]
