This sterling silver quaiche belongs to the 1910 period and the Celtic Revival style. The piece presents a polished silver finish with a shallow bowl, a raised collet foot, and two distinct lug handles decorated with intricate Celtic knotwork. Visible details include stamped hallmarks on the outer bowl near the base and a heavier weight of 72 grams. Measuring 11.5 cm in diameter including the handles and 3.5 cm in height, the vessel sits compactly on surfaces. Suitable for modern homes, this quaiche functions well displayed upon a sideboard top as a decorative accent or a small receptacle. The traditional design complements Highland hunting lodge aesthetics and integrates easily into contemporary dining rooms or living spaces as a functional tabletop item.

FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish shallow drinking vessel characterised by two flat handles, historically used to offer a welcoming drink of whisky or ale to guests as a symbol of friendship.

While early quaichs were crafted from wood or horn, silver examples were raised from sheet metal with cast handles welded to the bowl, often decorated with Celtic engraving or knotwork motifs.

Authentic British silver quaichs display clear hallmark stamps that indicate the silver purity standard, the assay office location, the year of production, and the registered silversmith makers mark.

A silver quaich can be styled as a table accent on a sideboard, drinks cabinet, or bookshelf, where its polished surface adds clean metallic shine and historical texture.

Sterling silver should be cleaned regularly using a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth or mild silver foam, ensuring it is thoroughly dried and stored away from excess humidity to prevent tarnish.
