Inspired by a tale of a mother pelican wounding herself in a time of famine to feed her young with her blood, their designers created this product with heartbreaking detail. Cast in pure pewter and hand-finished, this unusual set will start conversations at the table as well as spice up your meal. In legend, the pelican is portrayed as a noble bird who will sacrifice all for family, and a pelican in the home will ward off famine and allow the host to feed every guest at their table.
