Description
Made from pure silver this quaich is striking and unusual. Reinterpreting a Victorian basket weave design, this quaich's detailed embossing is executed with the utmost care, creating a complex and beautiful accessory.
Quaichs were traditionally used for welcoming guests with whisky or brandy but the modern examples make equally fine home accessories as they do practical cups. Their history and importance in Scottish society makes them a fascinating, beautiful and great talking points.

This item arrived very quickly in excellent condition, just as I expected from this site. The quaich itself is simply fabulously made, from the general shape itself to the fine details on the handles. I am very satisfied with it and am happily using it when I'm at home relaxing and having a couple of drinks.
