Know before you buy
No, this cup is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish of the polished pewter, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately with a soft cloth.
Yes, the cup is designed for personalization. Engraving is typically performed in the center of the cup to highlight names, dates, or special messages.
The cup has an 8 oz capacity, which is the standard size for a traditional mint julep cocktail.
Pewter is a durable metal, but it can develop a patina over time if not cared for properly. Regular hand washing and occasional polishing will help maintain its original luster.
While the cup is made of pewter, it is not insulated and will conduct heat quickly, making it uncomfortable to hold with hot liquids. It is best suited for cold cocktails or as a decorative display piece.
