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 brand and employs 30 local people. Most pewter elements are still produced in the traditional way in their own workshop by local men and women, specially trained in old casting methods, meticulous assembly, and delicate hand finishing.
Acquiring these skills takes years. When creating 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 from all over the world.
All soldering is now performed 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. Currently, 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.
