The Quaich...

is a traditional Scots drinking vessel for whisky: its distinctive style of shallow bowl and shapely lugs dating from Medieval Times. Originally of wood-staved construction, the finest examples were embellished with a circular disc inscribed with such appropriate gaelic toasts as
"SLAINTE MHATH" meaning "your very good health".
