Salisbury Julep Cup

Yes, Salisbury uses high-quality, lead-free pewter for all their handcrafted vessels, ensuring they are safe for serving beverages.

Hand wash the cup with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the finish.

Yes, pewter is an excellent conductor of temperature. When filled with crushed ice and a chilled drink, the exterior will develop a beautiful frost, which is the hallmark of a traditional mint julep experience.

While it is designed for cold cocktails, you can use it for room-temperature or cold beverages. It is not recommended for hot drinks, as pewter conducts heat very efficiently and the cup will become too hot to hold comfortably.

This cup features a classic, lustrous finish that highlights the quality of the metalwork. Over time, it will develop a soft, natural patina that adds to its heirloom character.
