FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish drinking vessel characterized by a shallow bowl and two flat handles known as lugs. Originally fashioned from wood and later cast in silver, it was traditionally used to offer a welcoming drink of whisky or brandy to guests as a symbol of trust and friendship.

Antique silver quaichs are typically hand-formed or raised from sheet sterling silver, featuring a circular footed base and seamless body. The flat side handles, or lugs, are soldered directly onto the rim, and official British assay hallmarks are struck into the exterior body or base.

Authentic British sterling silver quaichs feature a set of official hallmarks: the makers mark, the town mark, the lion passant indicating 925 purity, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture. Interwar pieces often display clean lines and minimalist proportions characteristic of the era.

An antique silver quaich serves as a functional addition to a home bar, a sideboard display, or a gentlemans study. It can be positioned alongside crystal decanters or placed on a tray as a catch-all bowl for small accessories.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping it gently with a soft microfibre cloth after handle contact to remove skin oils. To clean tarnish or oxidisation, apply a specialised silver polish with a soft cloth, rinsing in warm soapy water and drying thoroughly to protect the surface finish.
