FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish two-handled drinking vessel, originally carved from wood, horn, or stone, which later evolved into silver during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Authentic period pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hand-beaten or lobed bowls with pierced, flat handles known as lugs.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, indicating the makers mark, assay office, purity standard, and date letter corresponding to the Edwardian era.

It can be displayed on a mantelpiece or side table as a decorative object, or used functionally to hold small items such as keys, trinkets, or business cards.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to maintain its finish, and stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent tarnishing.
