Pewter Quaich engraved with Robert Burns “Auld Lang Syne”

Quaichs were traditionally offered as a cup of welcome or farewell.

The word quaich derives from the Gaelic “Cuach” which means “shallow cup”

This simple cup with two handles or colloquially “lugs” was originally made from wood, horn or leather and later from pewter and silver.

This Highland greeting cup is now gaining popularity for toasting on many happy occasions.

This Quaich comes boxed.
