Pewter is not something that we would normally associate with Ireland yet pewter was in use in that country as long ago 1100AD. Of course at that time pewter was the preserve of the rich and it wasn’t until much later that pewter began to be used in other parts of society before it gradually fell out of use.

Irish pewter of 800 years ago was a much different metal to the one we see today. Back then Irish pewter was made from a combination of lead and tin while modern Irish pewter is made up of high percentage of tin combined with copper and antimony.

Mullingar Pewter revived the ancient art of pewter making and today you can see some of the finest and most exquisite pieces crafted in the traditional ways. You can see some of this fine workmanship in the pieces below.
