Pewter

Made in Mullingar, Co Westmeath, the range of Mullingar Pewter available on siopa.com encapsulates many Irish symbols, such as the Claddagh, the map of Ireland or the shamrock. Pewter products are believed to have been produced as early as the 15^th century, and may have been used for items used in religious ceremonies, although pewter did not become popular for everyday items until the 19^th century.

A Sense of Occasion

For the perfect way to toast a special occasion, give the gift of a Mullingar Pewter set of Claddagh Champagne Flutes, regal enough for a king or queen, and beautifully engraved with the Claddagh symbol of love, friendship and loyalty. The Irish tradition of tea-drinking can be celebrated all the more with the Mullingar Pewter Tea & Coffee Set with 12” Tray, adding a sense of occasion to the cupán tae (cup of tea), while the perfect birthday present for him could be found in the Mullingar Pewter Pocket Shamrock Whiskey (hip) Flask (also available with a Claddagh engraving) or the Mullingar Pewter Pocket Watches (available with a Claddagh, Shamrock or Map of Ireland engraving).
