About MeThe shaped nut body of this unusual cup is carved with scrollwork while the silver mounted rim and stem remain relatively plain. However, the rim of the cup is engraved: Captain George Watson Renown Canal Terrace Aberdeen.

The cup was owned, and presumably used, around 1830, by Captain George Watson of 10 Canal Terrace, Aberdeen. During his navel career, Watson captained the Aberdeen built ships 'Renown' and 'Expedition'.
