Some scuffing and patina. This beautiful pewter Quaich features a plain bowl which contrasts wonderfully with the ornate Celtic Knot style handles and Celtic banding around the circumference of the bowl, and is then given a Scottish flavour thanks to the ornate Scottish thistle pewter badge inside the bowl. The history of the Quaich dates back centuries and is commonly known as the Scottish "Cup Of Welcome", whereby visitors would be welcomed with whisky and drink from each side of the bowl. Today it is used as a commemorative gift for weddings, christenings and a whole host of celebrations, particularly for those with Scottish heritage.
