Inspired by Aesop's famous fable, this is a charming Tortoise and the Hare textured circular pewter bowl and spoon set. 

The Tortoise and the Hare

The bowl has a tortoise on the edge of the dish and the accompanying spoon has a hare scampering along its stem handle.

Slow and steady wins the race with this splendid pewter hare and tortoise bowl which is ideal for sugar, salt, mustard, sauces etc.

A great 10th Tin anniversary gift (our pewter is 95% tin) and an ideal gift for Christmas, birthdays and weddings.

The tortoise and the hare Fable

Aesop’s well-known account of a race between unequal partners has attracted conflicting interpretations. Although it is a common folktale theme in which ingenuity and trickery (rather than doggedness) are used to overcome a stronger opponent.

The tortoise bowl is 9 cm (3.5”) in diameter and 2.8 cm (1.1”) deep. The tortoise is 0.8 cm (0.3”) high and the accompanying hare spoon is 9.0 cm (3.5”) in length.

Each hare and tortoise bowl and spoon set is packaged in a presentation gift box with care instructions.

Tortoise Gifts

Every Glover and Smith tortoise and hare set is handmade from polished, solid lead-free pewter which is non-tarnishing (that was the lead in old pewter) and completely nickel-free and food safe.

Because our designs are all created in solid metal, the surface of your pewter bowl will never flake like a silver plated bowl. To clean, simply wash with warm soapy water.

All Glover and Smith English pewter designs are made exclusively by us in our workshops in Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK.
