The Quaich (pronounced "quake", from the Gaelic word "cuach") has a rich heritage in Scotland - indeed, they are a uniquely Scottish invention. A traditional Scottish drinking vessel to offer a guest a cup of welcome and also as a farewell drink, usually a dram of whisky. Travellers were known to carry a quaich with them.<p>This example would have been a souvenir or token gift purchased on a trip to Scotland around 1880.<p>A highly collectible and rarely found piece in wonderful glossy condition. Measures 3 3/8" wide from handle to handle.
