FAQs

What is a quaich?

A quaich is a traditional Scottish shallow cup or bowl, often with two handles, historically used for drinking spirits.

Is the topaz genuine?

Yes, the topaz accent is a genuine gemstone, adding a touch of elegance to the hand-crafted design.

Can I put this in a dishwasher?

No, the quaich is strictly hand-wash only. Dishwashers can damage the pewter and the topaz.

How should I store my quaich?

Store in a cool, dry place. It is best to keep it in its original box or wrapped in a soft cloth to protect it from scratches and dust.

Does the pewter affect the taste of the drink?

High-quality pewter is generally inert and should not significantly affect the taste of beverages, allowing for an authentic drinking experience.

Are there any guarantees on the craftsmanship?

Edwin Blyde & Co Ltd is known for its high standards of craftsmanship. While specific warranty details are best confirmed with the retailer, the company prides itself on the quality of its hand-made products.

Troubleshooting

Pewter has become dull or tarnished

Use a quality pewter polish and a soft cloth to gently rub away the tarnish and restore the shine. Ensure to follow the polish instructions.

Water spots are visible after washing

Ensure the quaich is dried immediately and thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth after every wash to prevent water spots from forming.

A slight scratch appears on the surface

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a very fine metal polish specifically designed for pewter. For deeper scratches, professional restoration may be considered.
