Hand-Polished Viking Horn Tumbler from Real Bovine Horn
History and Charm of Horn Vessels
Horn has long been one of the most accessible and popular materials for crafting drinkware. From antiquity through the early Middle Ages, particularly within Scandinavian and Germanic cultures, horns and their matching cups symbolised hospitality and brotherhood. While large drinking horns were passed around during grand feasts, smaller horn beakers with flat bottoms were used for daily life and served as practical companions during military campaigns.
Practical Application and Features
This historical tumbler features a securely fitted wooden base, ensuring it stands stably on any table. The interior is carefully treated with a food-safe certified resin varnish. Thanks to this, you can safely enjoy your beverages. It is perfectly suited for serving beer, mead, wine, water, and non-acidic soft drinks. As this is a natural handmade product, no two pieces are identical, varying slightly in shape, exact volume, and colour tones – ranging from solid black and mottled patterns to light ivory.
Care Instructions and Safety Warnings
To ensure this unique piece serves you well for a long time and retains its stunning appearance, several rules must be followed. Horn cannot withstand high temperatures or harsh chemicals. The product would be completely degraded and ruined if you were to wash it in a dishwasher or heat it in a microwave.
- Hot beverages, such as coffee, tea, or mulled wine, are entirely unsuitable.
- Do not pour liquids with an alcohol content exceeding 20% into the tumbler, as strong spirits degrade the protective inner layer.
- Always hand wash the tumbler gently in lukewarm water after use and let it air dry naturally.
- For a longer lifespan and to prevent the natural material from cracking over time, we recommend occasionally treating the surface with natural beeswax.
