Serve Appetizers the Ann Kary Way

July 24, 2015

The Ann Kary Pewter Company was founded in 1989 by an affluent Mexican family who recognized the value of high-quality Mexican handicrafts. The elegant beauty of Pewter is no exception. Today, the same family maintains special attention to all aspects of the production process, from designing the molds, to selecting only high-quality materials, to finishing the pieces with a select and experienced labor force.

This attention to detail, coupled with their elegant designs and the inherent uniqueness of Mexican pewter (a mixture of aluminum and zinc), has led to accounts in such well-known department stores as Neiman Marcus, Marshall Fields, and Bloomingdale's.

La Fuente Imports is proud to now join these names, as the purchase of any piece in the Ann Kary Pewter Collection, whether as a special gift or for everyday use in one's own home, will most assuredly enhance the elegance, beauty and practicality of any environment in which it is placed.

We do not recommend cleaning your Ann Kary pewter in the dishwasher, but rather enjoy hand washing them with warm water and mild soap. The pieces do not require polishing but can be buffed with a soft cloth to help maintain their luster. Food can be served on any of the platters and trays, and warmed in the oven up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This cannot be said for many other serving vessels.

Especially in Mexican cooking traditionally the food is generally served on warm plates. With these special accessories, meals can now be served piping hot family style right out of the oven. Not only are the various designs quite unique but fit any style event or décor.

Ann Kary pewter pieces are lead free and made of 95% recycled aluminum and 5% zinc. The malleable aluminum is combined with zinc to add the necessary hardness to the finished product, while the brilliant, lustered finish is the result of meticulous hand polishing.
