Description
A maritime-themed lidded container designed in the form of a ship’s capstan. The piece is constructed from cast brass with a flared, grooved body and a matching removable lid featuring square-notched accents. The container is mounted on a circular, turned hardwood base. A small brass plaque is affixed to the front of the base and is inscribed TILLING SOUTHAMPTON. Similar forms are occasionally identified in the trade as French pump lamps, though this example is configured as a lidded vessel.
