Royal Selangor pewter ware

Royal Selangor is a Malaysian pewter ware brand. It was established in 1885. At that time, it only sold incense burners, candleholders, and other items used by Chinese households during sacrificial ceremonies. It relied on the good quality of its products to make a name for itself. Over the years, it expanded its product line and markets. Royal Selangor is now the world’s largest pewter manufacturer. In 1992, the company changed its name to “Royal Selangor” to reflect its endorsement from the sultan of Selangor. Every product conferred with the royal warrant bears the inscription “By royal appointment to his Royal Highness, The Sultan of Selangor.” The tea (coffee) caddy in the image is decorated with the quartet of tree peony, lotus, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom to show the changing of the four seasons.
