1700 1715 Bowl Carved Catering Celtic Highland Jacobite Rebellion Strapwork
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Quaich, a two-lugged, wooden highland bowl or drinking vessel, dates back to around 1700 with intricate carvings of Celtic strapwork design. The Quaich, a cherished Scottish tradition, holds deep cultural significance and is often used for communal drinking during special occasions and gatherings. This particular Quaich bears the historical context of the 1st Jacobite Rebellion in 1715. The rebellion, led by James Edward Stuart, aimed to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British throne. The intricate carvings on this Quaich reflect the Celtic artistic traditions of the time and serve as a reminder of Scotland's rich history and heritage. The Quaich's two lugs, or handles, make it easy to pass around and share the contents with others, emphasizing the sense of community and unity. This wooden vessel not only holds liquid but also holds stories of Scotland's past, making it a treasured piece of European catering history.
