Know before you buy
Yes. The cup is crafted from high-quality, lead-free pewter and is FDA approved for food and beverage safety.
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish. Simply wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
This cup holds 10 fluid ounces, which is the standard size for a traditional Mint Julep served over crushed ice.
Pewter is an excellent conductor of cold. When filled with crushed ice, the cup will frost over quickly, keeping your cocktail exceptionally chilled while you drink.
While it is elegant enough for formal entertaining, the durable, heirloom-quality construction is designed to withstand regular use in a home bar.
