FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish shallow drinking vessel, characteristically fitted with two flat handles or lugs. Historically made from wood or silver, it was used to offer a welcoming sip of whisky or brandy to guests as a symbol of trust and hospitality.

Victorian novelty silver was primarily crafted from sterling silver using casting, chasing, and fine engraving techniques. Silversmiths created whimsical pieces disguised as everyday utilitarian items, such as barrels, tubs, or baskets, complete with mimicked textures and structural details.

Authentic Scottish silver of the nineteenth century features official assay hallmarks, such as the castle mark for Edinburgh or the tree, bird, bell, and ring for Glasgow. These marks appear alongside a duty mark, purity mark, date letter, and registered makers initials.

A sterling silver quaich can be placed on a dining room sideboard, integrated into a curated bar cart display, or used on an entry console table as a refined tray for small items.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping it periodically with a soft cotton cloth and using a gentle silver polish to remove oxidisation. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or immersion in water to preserve delicate hand-engraved details.
