Solid Pewter Quaich "The Scottish Cup of Friendship" " SLAINTE MHATH " Design

THE HIGHLAND QUAICH

THIS IS A LOVELY HANDMADE AND CRAFTED SOLID PEWTER QUAICH, THE FRIENDSHIP CUP OF SCOTLAND. THIS STUNNING QUAICH IS HIGHLY POLISHED PEWTER. IT IS A SMALL INDIVIDUAL QUAICH, THE HANDLES ARE DECORATED WITH THISTLES. THE INTERIOR HAS A THISTLE DESIGN AND HAS BEEN ENGRAVED WITH THE WORDS: "" SLAINTE MHATH "" SLAINTE MHATH: Slàinte mhath! • [ slanj'-uh va' ]

( English Translation: )

Slainte Mhath means literally "Good Health" - slainte translates
vaguely as health, "mhath" is the feminine form of "math" (pron.
"maa"). In Scots Gaelic, we aspirate to make an adjective feminine.
Thus the name "Mairi" (Marie) is given extra feminine emphasis by
aspiration - "Mhairi" (pron. "Varry").

IT HAS BEEN HANDCRAFTED IN SCOTLAND TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS BY ONE OF SCOTLAND'S MOST REPUTABLE PRODUCERS OF PEWTER HIGHLAND ACCESSORIES. IT IS CLASSED AS A 2.5 INCH QUAICH IT MEASURES 4.75 INCHES ACROSS THE TOP, FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE, AND STANDS 1.5 INCHES HIGH. THIS STUNNING QUAICH IS A WONDERFULL COLLECTOR'S PIECE FOR THE REAL HIGHLAND ENTHUSIAST. PERFECT DRINKING VESSEL FOR YOUR NIP OF WHISKY. A MUST FOR TOASTING IN HOGMANAY, ST ANDREW'S NIGHT OR YOUR BURN'S SUPPER. IT COMES IN ITS OWN BLACK SILK LINED PRESENTATION BOX

HISTORY AND ORIGINS:

The Word "Quaich" is derived from the Gaelic word "Cuach", which means shallow cup. The Quaich originated in the Scottish Highlands centuries ago and became a favourite drinking cup throughout the entirety of Scotland, Traditionally the Quaich was used when offering a guest a "cup of welcome" and again when offering a farewell or parting drink. The simple yet asthetically pleasing shape of the Quaich has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, a shallow bowl, with two handles, or ears, or as colloquially known, "lugs", at either side.

The original Quaich was made from primitive "staved" wood, then from horn or leather. Later by the seventeenth century, these materials were superseeded by Pewter and Silver.
