Unusual word for a two-handled cup?

[panamajack]

I used to have a small two-handled cup that was given to me as a gift. Someone who saw it mentioned that they'd seen an obscure word for such a thing -- and I'm now trying to remember what that word was.

I think the word was Gaelic in origin (or sounded like it); what I'm not sure of is whether she knew if the word described what I actually had, but it was definitely required to be two-handled.

I actually have some guesses I found from web searches, but none of them really ring a bell.

It wasn't tyg, which often has three or more handles.
It might have been cuach (or 'quaigh' as it is rendered in English), which does have a Gaelic origin and is described as two-handled.

(Examples of the above, and a bunch of other drinking vesselscan be found here (http://www.nicks.com.au/drinkvessels/page85.html) .)

I thought it was a longer word, maybe three syllables; does anyone have any idea what it might be?

It sounds to me like a krater, but that's a Greek word, not Celtic. It might help you with your searches, though.

This is the word (http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=quaich) you're looking for.

Well, there's a two-handled vessel called an amphora, but it's not Gaelic...
