Description
Manufactory Mullingar Pewter 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 company 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.
Acquiring these skills takes years. In producing these exquisite items, the brand consistently applies the highest standards of design and quality control. Most designs are inspired by Celtic crosses and many 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 worldwide.
All soldering is now done using lead-free solder, especially for food or drink items. Their range of creative Irish gifts includes 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 use with all types of food and beverages.

| Additional information | Capture the charm of old rural Ireland with this stunning sculpture Life in the Fast Lane. This handcrafted piece depicts a quintessential scene from Ireland's past where farmers transported haystacks for the winter by donkey and cart. For those lucky enough to own a wagon, this method was the basis of farm life; for others, the humble donkey carried the load on its back. Measuring 17 inches long, this beautifully detailed tin sculpture is a nostalgic nod to Irish heritage. It's the perfect homecoming gift or a unique centerpiece that sparks conversation. |
