Will Baugh Pewter Flask
Last updated: 19 October 2026
The Will Baugh flask is a four fluid ounce hip flask made from British lead-free pewter, designed by the Belfast product designer Will Baugh. Its tapered body narrows to a small screw top, so it looks more like a sculpted object than a standard curved flask. It comes in three finishes from £79.99, but only the gold plate version at £119.99 was in stock.
What the Will Baugh flask is
Will Baugh is a product and furniture designer based in Belfast. His work draws on industrial mechanisms and traditional manufacturing. Alongside the flask, he makes a barstool, a brass ruler, a letter opener and a paper tray.
The flask uses traditional British pewter-making methods and lead-free pewter. Monocle magazine featured his work in its January 2016 issue.

- Capacity: 4fl oz is about 118ml, a little over four single 25ml pub measures.

The limits of a pewter flask
Pewter needs looking after. Will Baugh says to wash it in hot, soapy water before you fill it and before every refill. You also should not leave spirits in it for more than 24 hours.
It is not for mixers. The care notes say no fizzy drinks and nothing acidic, either on their own or mixed with spirits.
Stock is the other problem. The cheapest finish, polished pewter at £79.99, was sold out, so the gold plate at £119.99 was the cheapest one you could order.
Where to buy it in the UK
Will Baugh sells the flask through his own shop, which lists all three finishes. I struggled to find it on Amazon UK, where searches only turned up other pewter flasks. The Will Baugh shop page has the current finishes and stock.
