The Mullingar Pewter brand is a synonym for craftsmanship combined with the highest quality Irish pewter.

Ancient pewter-making craftsmanship was revived in Ireland by Paddy Collins in Mullingar in 1974. Paddy's son, Peter, now runs the brand and employs 30 local people. Most of the pewter pieces are still handcrafted in their own workshop by local men and women, specially trained in traditional casting methods, meticulous assembly, and delicate hand finishing.

Mastering these skills takes years. When producing these exquisite items, the brand consistently adheres to the highest standards of design and quality control. Most designs are inspired by Celtic crosses and numerous monuments scattered across the Irish countryside. These original products are practical for everyday use and beautifully decorated with Irish, Celtic, Kells, Woodland, Legend, Religious, and Generic motifs.

Over time, Mullingar pewter has become very popular and highly valued by collectors from around the world.

All soldering is now done using lead-free solder, especially for food or drink-related items. Their range of creative Irish gifts features many Irish motifs suitable for any occasion.

What is pewter made of

Originally, pewter was made from a mixture of lead and tin. Today, the raw materials consist of 95% tin, with the remainder made up of copper and antimony. The brand guarantees that their pewter products are lead-free and completely safe for use with all types of food and beverages.
