Quaichs

The Timeless Tradition of Pewter Quaichs 

At Wentworth Pewter, we take pride in crafting high-quality quaichs that celebrate the deep-rooted traditions of Scottish heritage. Handmade in our Sheffield workshop, each quaich cup is a symbol of friendship, loyalty, and unity, making it a meaningful keepsake for special occasions. 

The Meaning and Tradition of the Quaich 

The quaich has been used for centuries in Scotland as a traditional drinking vessel for sharing whisky or other spirits. Often referred to as the "cup of friendship," it is a symbol of trust and warmth, commonly exchanged at weddings, celebrations, and toasts of goodwill. Today, quaichs continue to be cherished for their cultural significance, making them a perfect gift for commemorating milestones, strengthening bonds, and celebrating heritage. 

The Craftsmanship of a Pewter Quaich 

Our quaich cups are handcrafted from high-quality pewter, ensuring durability, elegance, and a stunning finish. Pewter has long been associated with British metalwork due to its timeless appeal and resistance to tarnishing. Each quaich is meticulously designed, with a range of traditional and contemporary styles to suit every occasion. From classic Scottish designs to modern interpretations, our pewter quaiches are made to be treasured for generations. 

Choosing the Perfect Quaich Cup 

We offer a variety of quaichs in different sizes and designs, making it easy to find the perfect piece for any event. Whether you're looking for a small keepsake or a larger ceremonial quaich cup, our collection caters to all preferences. 

For a personal touch, we also offer custom engraving services, allowing you to add initials, names, dates, or even family crests. A personalised quaich makes an unforgettable gift for weddings, anniversaries, or corporate presentations. 

Caring for Your Pewter Quaich 

To maintain the beauty of your quaich cup, follow these simple care tips: 

  • Hand wash only – Avoid dishwashers to preserve the finish.
  •  Use warm water and mild soap – Gently clean with a soft cloth. 
  • Dry immediately – Prevent water spots and maintain the pewter’s shine. 
  • Polish if desired – Pewter naturally develops a soft patina, but it can be polished for a brighter look. 

With proper care, your quaich will remain a treasured heirloom for years to come.
