中國文化歷史悠久，千年傳承讓我們見證了古代勞動人民的智慧成果無數。而例數我國精品工藝制作品，青銅器、瓷器、國畫等舉世皆知，但在世界文明史上有一個同樣傳承千古的文化卻很少有人知道。便是在當下的古玩藝術品收藏界，也很少見到它的身影——錫器。錫器是一種較為古老的手工藝品，最早可追溯到公元前2700年古埃及第十八王朝的錫手鐲和錫瓶，它們被認為是世界上最古老的錫制品。錫的質地比較柔軟，若是單獨拿出來制作錫器，較為不便。十八世紀七八十年代，英國人發明了一種由錫、銅、銻組成的新合金，被稱作“大不列顛金屬”，開始廣泛應用于錫器制作。
Chinese culture has a long history, and thousands of years of inheritance have witnessed countless achievements of the wisdom of the ancient working people. The examples of our country's top-quality crafts, bronze, porcelain, traditional Chinese painting and so on are well known, but in the history of world civilization, there is a same heritage of ancient culture, but few people know. Even in the current collection of antique works of art, it is rare to see its figure - tin. Tin ware is an ancient handicraft, which can be traced back to the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt in 2700 BC. Tin bracelets and tin bottles are considered to be the oldest tin products in the world. Tin is soft in texture. It is inconvenient to take it out alone to make tin ware. In the 18th century, in the 1970s and 1980s, the British invented a new alloy consisting of tin, copper and antimony, known as the "Great Britain Metal", and began to be widely used in tin production.

而錫器在中國的生產發展，最早見于青銅器時代，錫便已被人們發現并廣泛應用于器物制作。中國是世界上錫礦資源大國和最早利用錫的國家之一。《考工記》載︰“金有六齊，六分其金，而錫居一，謂之鐘鼎之齊；五分其金，而錫居一，謂之斧斤之齊；四分其金，而錫居一，謂之戈戟之齊；三分其金，而錫居一，謂之大刃之齊；二分其金，而錫居一，謂之削殺矢之齊。”因為錫制品脆弱易折損，且古代制作技術有限，從而純粹用于錫制品很少，大多為合金，也就是類似于“大不列顛金屬”。后來由于制作技術的發展，和錫器本身的防潮、保溫、耐酸、耐堿、易熱、延展性好、光亮如銀等優點被人們發掘。明清后，錫器開始盛行，特別是姿態萬千的錫壺，更是走進千萬百姓家。
The production and development of tin ware in China, first seen in the Bronze Age, has been found and widely used in the production of utensils. China is one of the largest tin resource countries in the world and one of the earliest countries to utilize tin. "Kao Gong Ji" contains: "There are six Qi in gold, six in gold, and one in tin, which is called the balance of bells and tripods; five in gold, and one in tin, which is called the balance of axes and catties; four in gold, and one in tin, which is called the balance of war; three in gold, and one in tin, which is called the balance of blades; two in gold, and one in tin, which is called the balance of killing targets. ” Because tin products are fragile and fragile, and ancient manufacturing technology is limited, so pure tin products are rarely used, mostly alloys, that is, similar to the "British metal". Later, due to the development of production technology, and tin itself moisture-proof, thermal insulation, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, heat-prone, good ductility, bright silver and other advantages were discovered. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tin ware began to prevail, especially the tin pots with thousands of gestures, but also into the homes of millions of people.
