The Mullingar Pewter manufactory is synonymous with craftsmanship combined with the highest quality Irish pewter.

The ancient craft of pewter making was revived in Ireland by Paddy Collins in Mullingar in 1974. Paddy's son, Peter, now runs the company 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 creating these exquisite gifts, the brand consistently applies the highest standards of design and quality control. Most designs are inspired by Celtic crosses and the many monuments scattered across the Irish countryside. These original 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 drink. 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. Today, 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 drink.
