Description
The Mullingar Pewter company is synonymous with 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 company and employs 30 local people. Most pewter items 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 creating these exquisite pieces, 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 patterns.
Over time, Mullingar pewter has become very popular and highly valued by collectors worldwide.
All soldering is now done using lead-free solder, especially for food or drink 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 rest made up of copper and antimony. The brand guarantees that their pewter products are lead-free and completely safe for all types of food and beverages.

| Additional information | The Skellig Islands are some of Ireland's most iconic images. They are located 12 km (8 miles) off the County Kerry coast. Skellig Michael rises from the sea, reaching a height of 218 meters above sea level. At the top of Skellig Michael is a well-preserved 6th-century monastic settlement. Skellig Michael takes its name from Saint. Michael the Archangel. The monastery can be reached via narrow and steep stone steps. Skellig Michael was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996. Skellig Michael gained dramatic fame for its appearance as the Luke Skywalker Island Sanctuary in Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Our handmade Irish tin island miniature is a highly desirable gift for anyone who has visited the islands or for any true Star Wars fan who collects unique and handmade products. |
