Ever wonder how a mint julep cup is made? It begins as a completely flat disc of pewter. Our highly skilled artisans place it on a lathe and slowly pull the metal over a form until the desired shape is achieved. This process is called metal spinning and it is only one part to making a mint julep cup! Design elements will be added, a base will be soldered on, and the whole cup will be hand polished to a mirror finish.

There's just one week left until the Kentucky Derby! It's time to share our favorite julep variation: The Iced Tea Mint Julep. Muddle 2-3 mint leaves gently in the bottom of your julep cup. Add 1/2 ounce mint-infused simple syrup, 2 ounces of bourbon and fill cup to the top with ice. Add iced tea until full, garnish with a mint sprig, and enjoy the cold, refreshing goodness!

A Salisbury mini-history lesson in honor of the upcoming derby: Our Kentucky Julep Cups were inspired by the designs of such early American craftsmen as Asa Blanchard of Lexington, KY and William and Archibald Cooper of Louisville, KY. The cupβs straight body lines and graceful moldings at the base and rim are typical of designs they used. Kentuckians have been giving, receiving, and using the cups of these designs for over 100 years. It is a favorite for weddings, christenings, fairs, and of ...

As Thanksgiving is coming soon, it's time to plan out your tablescape. We love to mix and match our metals with other items to create a stunning, eye-catching for the big feast! Here we used a Chippendale tray as a charger, an ivory Isabella plate from Skyros Designs, and a 4" Revere bowl for the setting. We dressed up the table with an herb-filled julep cup and a fruit-filled Images of America bowl. Your guests will love it!
