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 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 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 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. Nowadays, 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.

| Additional information | This simple water jug holds approximately 1 1/2 liters or 2 pints. The design is of Irish origin and was used in beer houses in Dublin in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Jugs were mainly used to dispense water, cider or beer. The beautiful pouring character of the jug and the beautifully decorated handle are so demanding of the beer and water jugs of the time. The Dublin jug was also widely used throughout England and Scotland as the trade was widespread at the time. The shape and size can be found in London, Manchester and even Paris to this day. |
