The Quaich (from Gaelic cuach, “cup”) is a traditional Scottish two-handled shallow drinking vessel, emerging in the Highlands around the 16th century. Originally crafted from wood, horn, or silver-mounted staves, it was used for whisky or brandy, acting as a “cup of friendship” to welcome visitors.
