Description

Quaich is a Scots rendering of the the Gaelic word "cuach" or cup and in keeping with fine Scottish tradition, quaichs are used for whisky or brandy. In the 19th century Sir Walter Scott dispensed wee drams to his guests in silver inlaid quaichs.

This solid pewter Quaich with Celtic engraved handles and Robert Burns motif is perfect for Burns night dinner - for that "guid auld Scotch drink!"

Used for visitor's welcome or farewell cup by proud Clan Chiefs, worthy merchants, or humble crofters, the quaich has kept its simple but beautiful shape and friendly purpose.

Quaichs make very beautiful and unusual gifts and nothing makes a gift more special than engraving. We can arrange engraving at a charge of 30p (0.3 UK pounds) per letter, with a minimum charge of 5 pounds. We surcharge this after ordering; it is not shown on the checkout page, but will be on your receipt email after your order is charged. By default, the engraved text will be around the outside of the bowl but if you would prefer your message on the base, inside the bowl, or on a matching plinth (purchased separately), and we will be happy to arrange this. Engraving also adds 1-2 weeks onto the delivery time.
