Kühn Started business in 1960. Since then it remains a family business. The company ranks among the leading art-commercial pewter workers world-wide.
The factory is located in the city of Augsburg, Germany. Since 1975 is manufactured as main line tin article.
In principle we use only tin alloys according to DIN 611-1 (without lead additive!), as they are certified for food containers also.
We at Black Forest Gifts are very impressed with the high quality product offered by Kühn.

Since 1796, this rich tradition has been kept alive by the family of Wilhelm Schweizer. Even today they base their designs on originals often hundreds of years old.
Each piece is truly a handmade item, as every one is cast individually from molds carefully engraved in slabs of slate. Each molds "life" is limited to about one thousand castings after which a new mold has to be carved to insure the quality and richness of even the tinniest detail. The accuracy and intricacy of the finished pieces are testimony of the pewter caster's art and skill.
Selection ranges from Christmas ornaments to Easter decorations, from standing Folklore, Santa and Angel Figures to pictures for walls and windows, all designed with the same loving care and respect for heritage and tradition.
This exclusive Pewter collection will be increased annually with carefully selected additional pieces. All pieces are offered painted and unpainted.
