All Vagabond House antler products are made from authentic naturally shed stag antler. These pieces age well with use, getting richer in color and gaining a smooth texture. However hand washing is required, as horn cannot withstand the intense heat of dishwashers. We also recommend conditioning the handle with Lemon oil occasionally.
Vagabond House pewter will tarnish very slowly and requires little maintenance. To clean your pewter after use, hand wash in warm water using liquid dish soap. Dry the pewter completely in order to prevent spots on the pewter. If you wish to polish your pewter, most metal polishes can be used, (please read the instructions carefully before you purchase). Because pewter is a soft metal, mildly abrasive metal polishing creams can buff out scratches and bring luster back to a frequently used piece.
