Basic spirit is a homegrown company located in the seaside village of pugwash, nova scotia. We love creating gifts that touch the heart & delight the spirit. Using traditional methods of pewtersmithing with high quality, lead free metal, we put a fresh twist on our line of fine pewter. We enjoy the challenge of growing a company, doing our best to serve our customers and staying open to new possibilities. Our village of pugwash is located on the north shore of our province. Its reputation for peace stems from the conferences that were held here at the thinkers lodge national historic site.
