There is something significantly special about Irish Pewter and the gifts crafted from it. Pewter making is an ancient craft that was revived in 1974 by Mullingar Pewter. Only a skilled artisan can cast, turn, meticulously assemble and delicately finish each piece by hand. There is over 800 years of tradition and skill being absorbed by every pewter gift which makes them stand out items whether buying for yourself or for others.
There are plenty of exceptional gifts to browse in the Irish pewter section – enjoy! Pewter is a tin alloy with a history that goes as far back as 2,000 years to Roman Civilization. Its versatile combination of strength and malleability made it useful for creating anything from eating utensils to jewelry. What continues to make pewter especially valuable is that, unlike finer metals, it is tarnish-resistant, allowing it to maintain its pristine shine over time, which makes pewter items perfect for passing down to generations as heirlooms.
