Boys are fascinated with trains. That's why we asked Hampshire Pewter to decorate this toddler cup with an old timey smoke stack train engine. You can depend on this durable, substantial pewter to be a favorite cup for any little boy. This 6 oz. cup is 2.75 inches high and 2.5 inches in diameter. The brushed satin finish is easy care, and the classic tankard design is enduring.
There is room to have the child's name and birthdate engraved on this cup. Such a simple way to record a little history.

Heirlooms To Be is proud to offer these high quality items made in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. In the United States, we associate pewter with our colonial history. Hampshire Pewter, founded in 1974, has revived the craft of the colonial pewterer.
Hampshire Pewter is hand cast using bronze molds and finished by hand creating its lovely shape and gentle finish. It is made with their trademark "Queen's Metal" pewter alloy, a precise combination of pure metals containing tin, bismuth, antimony, copper and silver.
The details of this pewter, as with most handmade work, will vary slightly, one piece to the next. The pride and skills of the Hampshire Pewter craftsmen are clearly evident in every piece.
At our request, Hampshire Pewter has added pewter charms such as teddy bears, hobby horses, and princess crowns to many of the pieces they craft for Heirlooms To Be, so that we can offer these extra-special items to bring delight to children.
