This English solid sterling silver quaich cup dates from the 1950 period and fits a mid-century barware collection with a highland hunting lodge design vibe. The piece presents a polished silver colour throughout its solid sterling silver construction, with a shallow round bowl, two flat side lugs forming handles, side hallmarks, and a circular raised foot. It weighs 54 grams and displays no dings, splits, or repairs, maintaining a clean finish with only minor faint marks. The cup measures 11.2 cm across including the handles and 7.8 cm excluding them. A traditional item intended for serving whisky, this cup sits well on a sideboard top for display or use during ceremonial gatherings in a modern home.

FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish shallow drinking bowl featuring two flat handles, historically used to offer a welcoming or parting drink of whisky or brandy to guests.

Traditional metal quaichs are crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring a spun shallow bowl, a raised circular foot rim, and two flat lateral handles known as lugs.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, a makers mark, and a specific date letter indicating the year of manufacture.

A silver quaich serves as a refined accent piece when displayed on a home bar tray, sideboard, or drinks trolley alongside crystal glassware and decanters.

Clean gently with a soft microfiber cloth and a specialised silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could mark the polished surface.
