- A mether (/ˈmɛðər/; Irish: meadar) is a communal or 'Friendship' drinking vessel from the Celtic tradition, mainly in Ireland and originally solely for mead with old examples being made of wood although they might have silver ornamentation added at a later date. The name 'Mether' is said to be derived from 'meth' that is the old name for mead as in the Welsh for mead that is 'medd', and the word 'metheglin' derived from the compound word 'meddyglyn', 'healing liquor'. Examples of wooden methers have been recovered from Irish peat bogs. Another possibility is that the name may come from the Irish Gaelic “Mehill” meaning a 'gathering'. The best known ancient Mether in Scotland is the Dunvegan Cup, which is a 10th-century wooden example provided with silver ornamentation in the 15th century. Probably Irish in origin but Belonging to the Clan MacLeod, the Dunvegan mether is held in the clan collection of artifacts at Dunvegan Castle. (en)
- Is é a bhí sa mheadar soitheach admhaid a dhéantaí in Éirinn chomh fada siar leis an deichiú haois ar a laghad. Dhá chluas nó ceithre chluas a bhíodh uirthi le haghaidh an chomh dhiúgtha. B'fhéidir í a úsáid, leis, mar thomhas, ós é sin is brí lena sanasaíocht sa Laidin, metrum. Bhíodh sí in úsáid go forleathan mar choimeádán ime agus í fós á dhéanamh i gceantair áirithe chomh fada leis an naoú haois déag. An t-iúr an t-adhmad ba rogha le lucht a déanta. Agus spéis nua á cur stair na hEireann i gcaitheamh an naoú haois déag, d'éirigh an mheadar ina siombail chomórta d'Éirinn chianarsa agus ina hinspioráid do lucht miotal óireachta, do sheodóirí agus d'ealaíontóirí a chleacht meáin éagsúla, ón miotal luachmhar go dtí an dair dhubh. Nocht sí mar mhóitif i dtréimhse na hAthbheochana Ceiltí agus í ina sainchomhartha dilis d'Éirinn, leis an tseamróg, an faolchú agus an cloigtheach. (ga)
