Know before you buy
This cup is crafted from high-quality pewter, a durable metal alloy known for its lustrous finish and ability to maintain a cold temperature when chilled.
The 9-ounce cup stands 3 3/4 inches tall with a 3-inch diameter, while the larger 12-ounce version measures 4 3/4 inches tall with a 3 1/4-inch diameter.
Yes, optional custom engraving is available for this piece, making it a thoughtful choice for gifts or commemorative keepsakes.
This is a single-wall pewter cup, meaning it does not have vacuum insulation. It is best suited for cold beverages, as the metal will naturally chill to the temperature of the drink inside.
Pewter is a soft metal and should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately with a soft cloth to maintain its finish and prevent spotting.
