About MeMiniature Quaich dating to1725 by Robert Cruickshank of Old Aberdeen.

This shallow round bowl is engraved with lines imitating the staves of a wooden quaich. Each of the two flat lug handles has an engraved border with the initials ‘MF’ on one lug and ‘M’ / GS’ on the other. The initials may indicate that the quaich commemorates a marriage.
