The Whitmore Pint is my new favorite mug. Jacob Whitmore was a fine 18th century Connecticut pewterer and this piece is a tribute to him. The ball terminal handle is a beautiful thing to look at and it feels great in one’s hand. Many thanks to fellow pewter enthusiast and antique pewter dealer, Wayne Hilt, for helping me to create this wonderful new handle.

The Baby Mug seems to scream “baby boy!” Fortunately, many a young lass has received this cup as well. I made the first one of these for my nephew years ago, even though his family lives in wine country of northern California.

The Strap handle 28 oz Mug is an original design inspired by those made in New England in the 18th century. The high fillet line detail on the body and the boot heel handle terminal are characteristic features of these kinds of mugs. It’s a beautiful form that is fun to look at and use!

The Gibson 24 oz Mug, formerly known as the Gibson Tankard, was our very first mug design. My sister, Lauren, convinced my father sometime in the summer of 1978 that we needed to add such a drinking vessel to our then, rather thin product line. Lauren created the pattern for the handle which is quite beautiful and unique. We had an old wooden chuck in the shop already which was suitable for the body and the rest, as they say, is history. These Mugs have always been numbered and we have kept a register of each owner.
This mug graced the cover of our 1979 catalog. Charles Hull of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, London summed the design up best in a note to my father when he said, “the design of your mug is straightforward, elegant simplicity, a trait sore missed in English pewter today.”

The Tulip Pint Mug is probably the most graceful drinking vessel that I make. As my father used to say, “all the curves are in all the right places.” It shares the same type of scroll handle as the Hamlin Mug which fits wonderfully in one’s hand. I call it a pint mug, but it actually holds about 20 ozs.

The Hamlin Pint Mug is a handsome form. It is a reproduction of a mug made in the late 18th century by Samuel Hamlin and later, by his son Samuel E. Hamlin, both of Providence, RI. I seem to have a natural affinity for the Hamlins since I too grew up in Providence, and learned the pewtering craft from my father as well.

The Gibson Pint Mug is similar to those used throughout Britain in pubs in the mid-19th century. The tapered sides of the mug coupled with the flattened handle terminal present a pleasing design that was built for rigorous daily use.
