Know before you buy
This cup is crafted from high-quality, polished pewter. It is a durable, single-wall metal vessel designed to develop a beautiful patina over time.
Yes, personalization is available via machine engraving. Please keep in mind that once an item has been engraved, it is considered a final sale and cannot be returned.
Pewter is a conductive metal, so it will chill quickly when filled with ice, creating the classic 'frost' on the exterior that is iconic to a traditional Mint Julep. However, because it is a single-wall design, it does not provide the same long-term thermal insulation as a double-walled vacuum-sealed tumbler.
The cup stands 4 inches tall and has a 10 oz capacity, which is the standard size for a traditional cocktail serving.
To maintain the polished finish, hand wash the cup with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the pewter surface.
