There are different types of pewter, but usually it's about 90 percent tin and 10 percent copper. This is called an alloy, when two or more metals are physically mixed, but do not react with each other. Other alloys include steel, bronze, and brass.

I would suspect it is silver-pewter and will be safe, but it is not necessarily wise to do so without checking.
