Description

Manufactory Mullingar Pewter is synonymous with 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 of the 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 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 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. 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 Add a piece of ancient Ireland to your home with this 7" Irish Pewter Cross. A replica of the Durrow standing tall cross, crafted with stunning pewter detail. The sculpture imitates the famous Durrow stone cross, which is 3.6 meters high and was originally part of a monastery founded by Saint. Colomba in the 6th century in County Offaly. It was engraved with illustrations of biblical stories (since most people at the time were illiterate) such as Christ at the Last Judgment wielding the scepter and staff, Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, Adam and Eve, the Crucifixion and many others, a wonderful synthesis of Celtic and early Christian iconography.
