Canadiana Glass Votive
Details
A pewter Canadian ornament has been affixed to this 2" glass cube. This votive is truly Canadian, featuring the Maple Leaf.
The Maple Leaf: Such a simple, natural symbol, yet with so much power to reflect the elegance, grace and dignity of a nation and its people. Whether it's a humpback whale diving deep, ice crashing off a northern glacier or an arrow-straight chevron of honking geese soaring above some of the planet’s most remarkable landscapes, the Maple Leaf symbolizes Canada. Looking at it closely, we see far more than the leaf of a tree that grows in every province, far more than the centerpiece of our national flag. We feel the poetry of our national consciousness; distinctly Canadian poetry — the sound of a dripping paddle as we contemplate a summer sunrise, kids playing hockey on a frozen pond, and the heartbeat-like rhythm of Aboriginal drums echoing through the mists of time. The Aitkens Pewter Canadiana Ornament: An inspiring and lasting symbol of our nation and its people.
Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.
Shipping + Returns
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
