<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 271520, member: 360&quot;]It&#039;s called, as Evelby correctly said, a &#039;quaich&#039;. Basically it&#039;s a Scottish drinking vessel, for wine or whiskey or other alcoholic beverages. </p><p><br /></p><p>These were sometimes made of silver, but really old ones were commonly made of pewter as well. I suspect that&#039;s what this is made of. </p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re meant to be filled and passed from person to person, typically as a sign of goodwill. That&#039;s probably why it&#039;s got a round bottom - it&#039;s not meant to be sat down - it&#039;s meant to be handed around the room. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps polish it and see what happens? For myself I don&#039;t see this being silver, but you never know. That doesn&#039;t look like any silver tarnishing that I&#039;ve ever seen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
