Viking Shot Glasses from Buffalo Horn (Set of 3) – Natural Style
What Do They Look Like?
Each shot glass in this set is handcrafted from 100% ethically sourced buffalo horn, which is precisely why each one is absolutely unique. No two pieces are the same – they differ in shape, natural texture, and wild colouring that combines dark and light tones, as you can see in the photo. This isn't mass production; it's honest craftsmanship that highlights the rustic beauty of the natural material. The glasses stand approx. 8cm tall and are around 3cm wide – the ideal size for a proper shot of your favourite tipple.
Functionality and Construction:
- Stable Base: The bottom of the shot glasses is made from practical plastic, ensuring they stand firmly on the table and don't easily tip over.
- Safe Interior: The inner surface is carefully treated with food-safe resin, meaning the glasses won't leak and meet hygiene standards for safe drinking.
When and How to Use Them?
In Viking and medieval times, horns were used for drinking on every occasion, festive or mundane. These shot glasses bring a piece of that rugged atmosphere into your modern rituals:
- Stylish Toasts: Perfect for celebrations, parties, gatherings with friends around a campfire, or at a barbecue. Every "Cheers!" will be original.
- Themed Events: A great addition to medieval festivals, LARP events, fantasy gatherings, or Viking feasts.
- Serving Drinks: Suitable for mead, liqueurs, or mixed shots. But take note! They are ideally suited for drinks with an alcohol content up to 20% ABV.
- Original Decor: Even when empty, they'll look fantastic on your bar, shelf, or as part of a collection.
- Unique Gift: Perfect for fans of history, Vikings, fantasy, or anyone who appreciates unusual and natural accessories. The set of three is ideal for sharing a toast!
What to Watch Out For – What Doesn't Go In?
Remember, horn is a natural material and has its specifics:
- ❌ Hot Drinks: Absolutely unsuitable! High temperatures could damage the horn. Only use for cool or lukewarm drinks.
- ❌ Strong Alcohol (Over 20% ABV): While it might be tempting to pour stronger spirits, it's not recommended. Alcohol above 20% ABV could potentially damage the internal protective resin layer over time.
- ❌ Dishwashers: Never! A dishwasher would ruin the shot glasses.
How to Care for Them So They Last?
Looking after them is easy:
- Before First Use: Wash them by hand in lukewarm running water.
- After Each Use: Wash them again by hand in lukewarm water. You can use a drop of mild washing-up liquid. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Let them air dry, ideally upside down to allow air circulation.
- Extra Care (Recommended): For longer life and to maintain their appearance, you can rub them with beeswax after they are dry.
- Natural Ageing: Natural horn can develop a patina or fine hairline cracks over time. This isn't a flaw but a natural characteristic of the material that adds to its character.
Forget boring shot glasses! Raise a toast with style, originality, and a touch of ancient times with this set of real horn shot glasses. Every toast will be a small adventure and an experience. Get them for yourself or as an unforgettable gift and celebrate like a Viking! Cheers!
