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.
Mastering 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 original 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 beverages. 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 remaining 5% 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 drinks.

| Additional information | This Irish pewter mug of St. Patrick's Day, hand-crafted and cast in Mullingar Pewter, tells the story of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, 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 here he practiced his family's Christianity, he eventually returned to France, where he 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. It is said that he used a shamrock (small clover) to explain the Holy Trinity. Saints' Day is celebrated around the world on March 17 each year and our mug would be the perfect gift to help celebrate this day. |
