George IV antique Scottish ornate quaich, Edinburgh 1827

A very ornate Georgian antique Scottish silver quaich. Made in Edinburgh in 1827 by James McKay. It has beautiful cast fox handles and cast images of grouse around the body. There is a full set of hallmarks underneath which are crisp and well struck. There is rubbed engraving in both cartouches, one side is a greyhound and the other is the name of “King”.  This was probably a prize for an exclusive coursing event which were precursors to actual greyhound racing. Overall the quaich is in great condition with no damage and only minimal rubbing to the high points. Weight; 87 grams or 2.8 ozst approx. Free delivery in the UK.
