A traditional Highland cup, used by chiefs to both welcome and bid farewell to their guests, this quaich is both beautiful and traditional. The word quaich comes from the Gaelic "cuach" for cup and is traditionally used to serve whisky or brandy. Sir Walter Scott was famous for dispensing wee drams to his guests in silver inlaid quaichs.
Whether you plan to welcome guests to your home with a bit of warming whisky, or even if you just appreciate the fine traditionalism, this beautiful Celtic banded quaich is a superb addition to any home.
Quaichs make very beautiful and unusual gifts and nothing makes a gift more special than an engraving. This product can be engraved, using Times New Roman font. By default, the engraved text will be around the outside of the bowl.

Tradition of the Quaich
quiach /kwex/ pronounced: kw-ay-ch
derived from Gaelic cuach 'cup'
It is hard to guess from its appearance exactly what a quaich is. Indeed, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was a small decorative bowl with little other purpose, beyond being aesthetically pleasing. In fact, the quaich has a much more interesting beginning than that of a posh ornament.
Quaich Company

A beautiful piece and a fantastic gift. I bought it as a surprise birthday present for an old friend of mine who was moved by its elegance and presentation. On my next visit he made a special show of producing the quaich and a fine bottle of single malt to show his appreciation. I liked it so much I will soon be ordering one of my own! Peter M.
