Quaich
Two-handed drinking vessel from Scotland
Quaich
A quaich , archaically quaigh or quoich, is a special kind of shallow two-handled drinking cup or bowl traditional in Scotland. It derives from the Scottish Gaelic cuach (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [kʰuəx]), meaning a cup. The quaich represents hospitality, peace, and friendship, sometimes being called a cup of friendship or a love cup. Traditionally made of wood, quaichs are now also crafted from pewter or silver. They can be used to drink whisky or brandy and are also used as commemorative gifts or prizes. In the modern day, they are often seen as part of a Scottish wedding, due to being a symbol of coming together. They may also been seen at a Burns Supper.
