Description
The Mullingar Pewter brand is a synonym for artisanal 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 a traditional manner 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 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 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 pewter is 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 | A stunning set of two Irish pewter champagne glasses, hand-cast from pewter in our workshop in Mullingar. Each cup is etched with Claddagh and woven shamrocks and then polished silver. The Claddagh pattern comes from the famous love symbol designed in the town of Claddagh, Co. Galway by Richard Joyce in 1689. This design is often used for wedding rings because it is based on the ring Richard made for his future wife. The symbols are "hands for friendship", "heart for love" and "crown for loyalty". The shamrock, a classic Irish motif, has been recognized as a symbol of Ireland for centuries. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is said to have used the shamrock to describe the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - each represented by a leaf. |
