The Skull, the Bones, and a Spinal Column Handle
The motif is direct: a skull above two crossed bones, in high relief in the center of the body. Two friezes of small skulls encircle the top and the bottom. But it is the handle that makes the piece: a complete spinal column, vertebra by vertebra, from the neck to the base. 450 ml. Find it among our Viking tankards.
What Distinguishes This Piece
- Double wall: an outer shell of sculpted resin and a removable food-grade stainless steel inner cup. Your drink only touches the metal.
- Spinal handle: each vertebra forms a natural notch. It is the most secure grip in our entire range of tankards.
- Two skull friezes: one at the top, one at the bottom, framing the central motif around the entire circumference.
- Brown-silver patina: the brown settles into the recesses and brings out the white of the bones.
- Hand-applied patina: the recesses remain dark, the edges catch the light. No two copies are ever strictly identical.
Complete the table with our Viking chalices or a natural yak drinking horn.

Did you know?
The skull and crossbones are not Nordic at all: it is the Jolly Roger, whose first reliable mentions date back to the early 18th century, a thousand years after the Viking Age. The Scandinavians had their own banner: the Hrafnsmerki, the raven banner, mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and in several sagas. It was said to have been woven by a chieftain's daughters and possessed a power: whoever carried it would bring victory to their army, but would die in battle.

Which capacity to choose?
| Capacity | What it amounts to | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 380 ml | A little more than a 330 ml can | A size under 400 ml: you can hold it for a long time without tiring your wrist, for a drink you savor rather than a round. |
| 450 ml this product | A 330 ml can plus a generous top-up | The compromise for heavily sculpted models: a whole beer, without the weight of a 600 ml tankard once full. |
| 500 ml | A 500 ml bottle, filled to the brim | The beer drinker's benchmark: a whole 500 ml bottle fits, but with no room for the head. |
| 600 ml | A 500 ml bottle, with the room the head needs | The size for long feasts: you pour once and don't get up again. Full, it takes a firm grip. |
| About 420 to 550 ml | Roughly a pint | Capacity given as a range: each piece differs slightly. Choose it if a piece that isn't calibrated doesn't bother you. |
Is this a Viking object?
No, and we may as well say so: the skull and crossbones is an 18th-century pirate emblem. We list it with our tankards for its construction and size, not for its symbolism.
Is the vertebrae handle comfortable?
Very. The vertebrae form a series of notches that keep your hand from slipping, even with the tankard full and your fingers wet.
What is the capacity?
About 450 ml, and it weighs 550 g empty.
How do I clean between the vertebrae?
Use a soft-bristled brush, dry or slightly damp. The steel liner can be removed and hand-washed in lukewarm water.
