Scottish Pewter Quaichs
The quiche is a traditional Scottish drinking vessel. The name quaich comes from the Gaelic ‘cuach’. They were originally carved out of wood but silver and pewter ones started to appear around the 17th century. Makes a great gift for your Best Man, or any Scottish Occasions. Another great product from Scotland. The word "Quaich" is derived from the Gaelic word "Cuach" which means "shallow cup". The Quaich originated in the Scottish Highlands centuries ago and became the favorite drinking cup throughout Scotland. Traditionally, the Quaich is used when offering a quest "the cup of welcome" and again when offering the farewell or parting drink. The simple but pleasingly distinctive design of the Quaich has remained unchanged over the centuries- a shallow bowl with two handles or ears, colloquially known as "lugs".
