Quaich is a Scots rendering of the the Gaelic word "cuach"; meaning a cup. Quaichs were used for whisky or brandy, and in the 19th century Sir Walter Scott dispensed drams in silver inlaid quaichs. Used for visitor's welcome or farewell cup by proud Clan Chiefs, worthy merchants, or humble crofters, the quaich has kept its simple but beautiful shape and friendly purpose.
Engraving: we can arrange engraving at a charge of 30p (0.3 UK pounds) per letter, with a minimum charge of 5 pounds. We surcharge this after ordering; it is not shown on the checkout page, but will be on your receipt email after your order is charged. By default, engraved text will be around the outside of the bowl. Please notify us if you would prefer your message on the base, inside the bowl, or on a matching plinth (purchased separately), and we will be happy to arrange this.
Please note that engraving adds 1-2 weeks to the delivery time.

Since both my husband and I were so pleased with my first purchase from Scotweb, I decided to see if I could find something
to give my husband for our 5th anniversary. Since the traditional gift was wood, and the modern gift was silverware, I decided
on the Wood & Pewter Quaich. I even had it engraved. We have never seen anything like this item. Beautiful doesn't even come
close to describing it. Yet another fabulous purchase from Scotweb.

I chose to use the Scotweb store because of it's good prices and easy to navigate website. I was not disappointed. Trying to get a rush order of Scottish gifts for friends in Texas before leaving the USA was easy and stress-free. All customer care staff were more than helpful, courteous and responded quickly to questions. My order arrived BEFORE the date promised, in good condition and exactly as I had seen online. There were no surprises.
I highly recommend the Scotweb store and commend their staff for excellent customer care.
