Pewter Quaich

The Pewter Quaich, traditionally used as a welcoming or farewell cup, derives its name from the Gaelic word "Cuach" meaning "shallow cup". Originally crafted from wood, horn, or leather, this simple cup with two handles, or "lugs" as it is colloquially known, is now made from pewter or silver. Handmade on the west coast of Scotland using traditional smithing techniques, these quaichs are gaining popularity for toasting special occasions. They also make for a perfect wedding gift. Made from 100% lead-free pewter, this Highland greeting cup is crafted with care from a mix of tin, antimony, copper, bismuth, and sometimes silver. With dimensions of 12.25cm from handle to handle and a cup width of 8cm, this Quaich is a truly timeless and cherished possession.
