Hi, dear friends!

I have one attractive article (height - 90mm, diameter - 21mm). Let me know please its correct name and what it intended for.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Elena,

It's a Quaich, a drinking vessel that has its origins in Scotland. See the Glossary at: http://www.925-1000.com/silverglossary4.html

The maker is Carrington & Co. (John Bodman Carrington).

Trev.
