Description
The Mullingar Pewter company is synonymous with craftsmanship combined with the highest quality of Irish pewter.
The ancient craft of pewter making was revived in Ireland by Paddy Collins in Mullingar in 1974. Paddy's son, Peter, currently runs the brand and employs 30 local people. Most of the pewter pieces are still made in the traditional way in their own workshop by local men and women, specially trained in the old methods of casting, 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 unique products are useful for everyday use, beautifully adorned with Irish, Celtic, Kells, Woodland, Legend, Religious, and Generic patterns.
Over time, Mullingar pewter has become very popular and valued by collectors from all parts of the world.
All soldering is now done using lead-free solder when it comes to food or beverages. Their range of creative Irish gifts includes many Irish motifs suitable for any occasion.
What pewter is made of
Originally, pewter was made from a mixture of lead and tin. Currently, the raw materials consist of 95% tin, with the remainder being 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 | 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. |
