On 11 September 26, 2009 I was in Royal Selangor with my friends (Japanese) at royal Selangor visitor centre located at Setapak Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. Many things we learn on our visited and we had briefing about this royal Selangor pewter.
As we told by the guide, Royal Selangor founded in 1885 and bring it to Malaysia by China people and is the world’s foremost name quality pewter, a brand synonymous with design and craftsmanship. In the hands of our skilled craftspeople, this versatile alloy of tin, copper and antimony is transformed into endless variety of homeware and gifts sold in more than twenty countries around the world today such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, London Toronto etc. this royal Selangor visitor centre will take you back over a hundred years to the founding of royal Selangor and its inextricable link with the history of Malaysia.
Every story has a beginning. Royal Selangor’s coincides with the remarkable development of tin mining in the Malay Peninsula in the 1800s. Traditional pewtersmithing tools and antique pewter from around the world are showcased in the pewter museum, and ancient tin currency is featured. To walk and visited the royal pewter we also know how to learn to be a pewtersmithing by enroll In the school of hard knocks. These schools also offer an enjoyable half hour workshop in pewtersmithing by using very basic hand tools; you will create as I done before a simple bowl much like how it would have been made in late 19th century.
