This Scottish antique George V sterling silver quaich from 1932 is a traditional Scottish drinking vessel in a classic design. The item is formed from bright polished sterling silver in a clean silver colour, featuring a shallow circular bowl with a plain rim, two flat lateral lug handles projecting horizontally from opposite sides, and a low raised circular foot beneath the body. The piece measures 5 cms in height, 16.3 cms in length from handle to handle, and has a body diameter of 11.4 cms. In a modern interior, this sterling silver quaich sits on a sideboard top to bring a touch of Highland hunting lodge style to a room. The vessel functions practically as an accessory for display or barware use, and makes an ideal gift for collectors of antique silver.

FAQs

A quaich is a traditional Scottish shallow drinking vessel distinguished by two flat horizontal handles, historically used to offer a welcoming drink of whisky or brandy to guests.

While early quaichs were crafted from wood or horn, high-status examples from the eighteenth century onwards were forged from sterling silver or mounted with silver fittings.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps, including the lion passant or thistle mark for sterling purity, an assay office symbol, a date letter, and a makers mark.

A sterling silver quaich functions well as a decorative accent on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or desk, where it can serve as a trinket dish or stand independently as barware.

Clean regularly with a soft cotton cloth and mild silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners that might strip delicate hallmark details or alter the silver finish.
