The importance of pewter as a metal did not develop until the middle ages. This period, often termed as the "Golden Age of the English Yeoman", marked the transformation of the material into everyday usage . Pewter making remained a cottage industry until the 1770's when Jessop and Hankcock  from Sheffield developed a new pewter alloy consisting of 92% tin, 7.5% antimony and 1.5% copper. Significantly, it is free of lead and nickel and became known as Brittania  metal. The outcome was a light product which could be highly polished. Pewter was the most popular material for tableware until porcelain and is known as the 4th precious metal after Platinum, Gold and Silver.
