I bought a pair of earrings from here more than five years ago. They still look as beautiful as the day I bought them. We will be back on our next trip through the Williamsburg area!

Such a special store. Handcrafted. Quality. Beautiful pieces. I love everything. I get earrings every time I visit. I receive lots of compliments on my cross necklace too!

Great shop! We bought a couple of items and a oil lamp. Very nice items!
This store has been a Williamsburg tradition for fifty years. In the heart of Colonial Williamsburg, it started life as the Shirley Pewter Shop in 1964. After a complete renovation in 2013, it became Danforth Pewter. We make every piece of Danforth pewter, including the Shirley Collection, by hand in our Vermont workshop, carrying the store’s heritage of handcrafting American pewter into the 21st century. The store features a history wall highlighting Danforth’s colonial roots and Shirley’s legacy from the earliest days of Colonial Williamsburg, as well as a display showing how pewter is crafted and a video of our workshop.
