pewter mug
Alloy tavern cup
A pewter mug is a drinking vessel made from pewter, a gray alloy of tin with small amounts of copper, antimony, or lead.
Pewter mugs have a substantial weight and keep drinks cool, making them traditional favorites for beer and ale.
They evoke taverns and colonial-era drinking: He raised his pewter mug in a toast.
