Description
The Mullingar Pewter company is synonymous with craftsmanship combined with the highest quality Irish pewter.
Ancient pewter-making craft 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.
Acquiring these skills takes years. When producing these exquisite gifts, the brand consistently adheres to the highest standards of design and quality control. Most designs are inspired by Celtic crosses and many monuments scattered across the Irish countryside. These unique 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 use with all kinds of food and beverages.

| Additional information | Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, was born in France in 380 AD. In his youth, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland, where he guarded sheep against robbers and predators. While in Ireland, he practiced his family's Christianity. He returned to France and studied to become a priest. While in France, he heard a voice calling him to return to Ireland to convert the Irish from their pagan customs to Christianity. He is said to have used shamrock (small clover) to explain the Holy Trinity and also to have banished snakes from Ireland. Saints' Day is celebrated around the world on March 17 every year. |
