Brook and Son, George Street, Edinburgh, are celebrated for their novelties, but they also specialise in reproductions of the ancient ‘‘ Quaich,’’ known to every Highlander as a cup of kindness, be it filled with Athol brose or steaming broth or porridge. Made in wood, horn, or the more luxurious silver, these bowls are very suitable for children’s porringers; and the smaller sizes are very pretty if filled with almonds or sweets on a dinner-table. The plainness of the bowl makes for cleanliness. And the “ lugs,’’ or handles, are often made of pierced silver on the ornamental pattern, or of plain silver on the horn or wooden design. Every ‘‘ Quaich’’ is guaranteed by Messrs. Brook and Son to be of Scottish origin, and bears the Edinburgh hall mark, and therefore it makes a gift of distinction, and is particularly charming for a Christmas present.
