Set of Colourful Genuine Ox Horn Shot Glasses (3pk, approx 100ml)
What do the shot glasses look like?
This set is bursting with colour! Each of the three glasses boasts a different vibrant, translucent hue – as you can see from the photo, that might be yellow, teal, or bright blue, for example. Thanks to the thin, polished horn, the colours really pop, and the natural texture of the material subtly shines through. Each shot glass is a handmade unique item, so they may vary slightly in exact shade and horn pattern. They feature a practical, slightly angled rim and a stable plastic base. Standing just under 6 cm tall (approx. 2 inches) with a capacity of around 100 ml, they're ideal for a proper shot or a small tasting.
Functionality and Safety:
- Leak-proof and Safe: The inside of each glass is carefully treated with a layer of food-safe resin. This ensures your drink won't leak and the vessel meets strict hygiene standards.
- Durable (within reason): Being made from real horn makes them more resistant to breaking than glass, but remember, it's still a natural material.
How were horn vessels used in the past, and how can you use these shot glasses today?
- Historically: For centuries, horn was a popular material for making drinking vessels – horns, cups, and smaller beakers. It symbolised a connection with nature and craftsmanship.
- Today: These modern, colourful shot glasses bring this ancient material right up to date and are brilliant for:
- Livening up any party or celebration.
- Themed parties (medieval, fantasy, Viking).
- Adding style to your home bar.
- Serving liqueurs, spirits, or tastings in an original way.
- A fantastic and unusual gift for mates (birthdays, housewarmings...).
- Guaranteed conversation starters – everyone will notice them!
How to look after your shot glasses so they last:
Even though they're tougher than glass, they deserve proper care:
- Suitable Drinks: They are intended for cold and lukewarm liquids. Ideal for spirits and liqueurs. According to the manufacturer, the alcohol content should not exceed 20% ABV. (Note: Although they are shot glasses, this is the material limit stated by the manufacturer).
- What to Definitely Avoid: NO HOT DRINKS! Heat could damage the horn and the resin. DO NOT wash them in the dishwasher!
- Cleaning and Maintenance: Before first use, rinse by hand in lukewarm water. After each use, wash them again by hand with lukewarm water (a drop of washing-up liquid can be used, but often isn't necessary) and let them dry. For a longer life and to maintain their beauty, you can occasionally rub the outside with a little beeswax.
- Natural Material: Remember that horn is a natural material which can change over time and may eventually develop cracks.
Enrich your drinking rituals with an explosion of colour and a touch of history! This set of horn shot glasses is more than just drinkware – it's a celebration of craft, fun, and uniqueness. Cheers!
