Monteith
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monteith or Menteith is a sept of Clan Graham or Clan Stuart of Bute
Menteith or Monteith (Scottish Gaelic: Tèadhaich) , a district of south Perthshire, Scotland, roughly comprises the territory between the Teith and the Forth. The region is named for the river Teith, but the exact sense is unclear, early forms including Meneted, Maneteth and Meneteth.
Monteith'sis also a brand of beer, brewed in Greymouth, New Zealand on the west coast of the South Island.
A monteith is a bowl used for the cooling of wine glasses. The rim has depressions in it that allow the leg of the wineglass to be caught by its base so that the bowl of the wine-glass dips into ice-water, the base staying dry. These bowls were often made out of precious metals, and being novelty pieces their rarity has afforded many of them great value as collectibles. The name of the bowl immortalizes its inventor.
