Boston Pewter Company

Really cool antique store in Faneuil Hall… handmade glass and etchings. It’s definitely a store you don’t want to bring your children to because everything is just so fragile. I bought a heart-​shaped stone mosaic dish in various blues that I keep for my jewelry on our bathroom counter. Definitely worth exploring and browsing around!

What a great store! Their selection is a little eclectic, but definitely centered around Boston. The craftsmanship is first rate and everything in there is beautiful.
The guys working behind the counter were very friendly and helpful without being pushy or over-​bearing, which I always appreciate.

I hadn’t been in this shop for years and went in recently as I have been on the look-​out for a Boston-​centric gift for a former local now living far from here.
This is a shop filled with interesting New England-​y things from pewter bowls, mugs, dishes and decorative platters to glassware, jewelry and other doodads.
Some authentic blue and white Delftware pieces caught my eye. There was an assortment of glass boxes in different shapes that could be used for storing special things on a bureau or desk. The pieces are made in Holland but it was the pretty New England inspired designs on them that made them special for my purposes.
Although you have to keep your eyes open regarding quality, there are a number of things in the store that are lovely well made pieces.
Jeff, who was working in the store when I was there, was most helpful in pointing out some gift ideas he thought I might like. I was in a bit of a rush plan to return soon for one of the Delft boxes. They are so pretty and priced right and I think will be appreciated by my intended giftee.
This store has been around for a long time so they are doing something right. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who would appreciate something with a New England or Boston focus, this might be your shop.

Great store in Quincy Marketplace. Beautiful pewter and blown glass stuff

If you really take your time and look around the store, you’ll find some unique New England souvenirs to give to relatives or friends that live afar. On a cold and stormy day, I stopped by at this store to try to pick up some quick souvenirs for my relatives in HK. The first mistake I made was going into this store feeling rushed. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money but I also wanted something of high quality. I found these bookmarks that looked like they were unique scrimshaw but after I purchased them, I realized they were replicates and made out of cheap synthetic material. After tossing and turning throughout the night, I called the store and asked whether I could exchange the bookmarks. The owner was friendly and invited to drop by the store again to look around. I had spent 80 dollars on the bookmarks and wanting to make sure I got my money’s worth, I spent about 45 minutes in the store looking at every display case and product. The owner sensed that I was looking for high quality stuff and gave very honest answers when I asked him where a product was made or what material a product was made of. In the end I exchanged the bookmarks for a celtic necklace and a scrimshaw magnifying glass. I had to pay about an extra 20 for the products but I was happy with my final purchases. My grandparents were really impressed with the scrimshaw magnifying glass and I thought the product was a truly unique Boston souvenir to give to my grandparents. I give this store three stars because I think a lot of their typical Boston souvenirs are overpriced. My suggestion for future shoppers is to really take your time at the store, ask a lot of questions, and take out your smart phone and do some research before you purchase. The store does store exchanges but will not refund your money.

Fabulous assortment of gifts a jewelry and really great range of prices. Helpful and friendly staff too!

I work right next door to Faneuil and stopped in here today on my lunch break to do some quick Christmas shopping. As most Bostonians know, Faneuil isn’t always the most affordable stop for your shopping — this place may be the exception. Good prices, good quality.
I got a beautiful pewter angel for my grandmother — prices were very reasonable. Almost as important, the gentleman behind the counter was very helpful, I asked him if they had any penguin statues and he was very sweet and took the time to show me several options. Great experience, cute store — def worth a stop in when you’re doing your holiday shopping!
on a side note, how hilarious is Jen R.‘s review below? How can you give 2 stars to a store that specializes in pewter because you’re «not a big pewter fan»?
Piece of advice folks… if you don’t like pewter, maybe this isn’t the place for you.

I stopped in here recently when touring Faneuil Hall with some out of town guests. I was really amazed at some of the prices on their the jewelry. For example, although the prices for the pewter pieces seemed reasonable, the prices of dichronic glass were 2 – 3 times what I’ve seen in other stores. I suppose this store is okay if you’re looking for a unique gift in pewter, but I’d definitely check elsewhere to see if you can get a better price on non-​pewter items. Comparison shop, even within the Faneuil Hall area. You could probably get a better deal on dichronic glass pieces at Local Charm or Geoclassics.

I have bought a few scrimshaw pieces here for my dad. he is very into nautical history and they sell stuff hand crafted by a local man in Mass. The last thing I got was a scrimshaw & metal cork screw/​bottle opener — the scrimshaw scene was of a big ship & lighthouse for about $ 80. Their stuff is pricier but sometimes they have just the right thing! I have also bought a pewter bracelet for my soon to be sister-​in-​law — she loves it!

I am not a big pewter fan. This store carries pewter stuff– some jewelry and other stuff. I have never bought anything here.
