An unusual silver pint mug of nautical interest; the body is formed in the shape of a capstan, and the handle as entwined rope or cable. A rare and interesting piece, it has been made in a heavy gauge of silver and feels substantial to hold.
A capstan is a most frequently nautical machine for moving or raising heavy weights and consists of a vertical drum which can be rotated and around which cable is turned.
