FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish two-handled drinking vessel, historically used as a cup of welcome or for toasts, which evolved into a decorative tableware item during the Victorian period.

While traditional early quaichs were carved entirely from wood or staved wood with silver bands, later Victorian examples frequently incorporated sterling silver mounts combined with cut glass or crystal bowls.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks for the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside assessing the quality of the hand-chased silverwork and the cut of the glass bowl.

A silver quaich can be displayed as a decorative centrepiece on a dining table, mantelpiece, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add historical texture and metallic contrast to contemporary decor.

Antique silver should be cleaned periodically with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish, while the glass component should be gently washed with lukewarm soapy water and dried with a lint-free cloth.
