New Brunswick Galley Ornament
New Brunswick Galley Ornament
Details
The Galley is the ancient ship used on the Provincial flag. It reflects the two early principal economic activities that were carried in the province, shipping and shipbuilding.
The galley, or lymphad, is the representation of an ancient, single-masted ship propelled by oars, and is used primarily in Scottish heraldry.
The word lymphad comes from the Gaelic “long fhada,” which refers to a long ship. The centuries-old symbol not only reflects the province of New Brunswick’s strong Scottish connection but also its rich shipbuilding and shipping heritage.
This ornament makes a great gift for anyone visiting New Brunswick.
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.

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.
