What is a pewter cup?
Pewter is a metal alloy composed mainly of tin - 85 to 99% - and a mixture of antimony, lead, copper and bismuth. A cup is a small hollow object typically used to hold amounts of liquid for drinking easily. Thus, a pewter cup is an object made up mostly of tin from which people drink.

Oh, dude, pewter is a non-ferrous metal. It's like a mix of different metals, usually tin, antimony, and copper, but no iron in there. So, yeah, pewter won't stick to a magnet, unlike those ferrous metals that cling on for dear life.

Is it safe to drink from pewter?
Unfortunately, Pewter is a common name describing several very similar metal alloys. It is important to know if it is lead-pewter (the kind the Romans used to use for drinking--causing madness; this is till used for small statues, trinkets, etc.) or silver-pewter or tin-pewter (the kind now often used in drinkware and jewellery). I would suspect it is silver-pewter and will be safe, but it is not necessarily wise to do so without checking.
How can you tell silver from pewter?
silver will most likely have the symbol 925 imprinted on it somewhere. as for telling if something is pewter or not, I'm still trying to work that out. "Pewter contains lead and will leave a pencil-like mark when drawn across a piece of paper." Actually, pewter can (and used to, exclusively) contain lead along with other metals but modern alloys contain tin (92%-95%), copper(up to 2.5%) and subtitute ANTIMONY (less than 2%) for LEAD. There are standards about the amount of antimony added to the alloy in order that the finished pewter product is food-safe. Try this link for further information: http://www.pewtersociety.org/care.HTML The difference between SILVER and PEWTER should be readily apparent as pewter is so much softer than silver. Pewter can be carved with a sharp tool with relative ease: silver can not. Even if it doesn't contain lead pewter will still leave a mark when scratched on a hard surface (but so will silver...just a mark of a different gray).
