This miniature quaich, a type of drinking vessel, was crafted by Scottish silversmith James Sympsone between 1685 and 1699. The small, silver cup, featuring a simple design with two handles, stands on a short, flared foot. The quaich is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This exquisite example of Scottish silversmithing demonstrates the craftsmanship of the period and reflects the traditional drinking customs of the time.
