Authentic Genuine Horn Drinking Horn 400-500ml – Crescent Moon Motifs

What does the horn look like?

At first glance, you'll be captivated by its glossy, dark surface, precisely detailed with lighter, crescent moon motifs applied using a charring technique. These details lend it a mysterious yet rugged appearance. As each horn is a natural original, yours will boast a unique curve and colour pattern, potentially blending shades of yellow, brown, white, cream, and black. It's truly a one-of-a-kind piece! It measures 33 to 38 cm (approx. 13"-15") along the outer curve and holds around 400-500 ml of your favourite beverage.

Quality Proven by Filmmakers:

This isn't just any old horn! It comes from the workshops of Lord of Battles, the official suppliers for television series like Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom. Yes, you might well have seen horns just like this in the hands of your favourite characters! The inside of the horn is carefully polished and treated with a food-safe, waterproof epoxy resin, making it perfectly safe for contact with drinks.

How were drinking horns used, and how are they used today?

  • In the past: Drinking horns were a common part of life in many cultures, especially among Germanic peoples, Celts, and Vikings. They were used not only for drinking (mainly ale and mead) at feasts, rituals, and celebrations but were also symbols of status and wealth. Ornate horns were often passed down through generations.
  • Today: You can still have plenty of fun with a horn today! It's a brilliant accessory for:
    • Historical festivals, LARP events, and re-enactments.
    • Themed parties and celebrations.
    • Barbecues with your mates, where you want to stand out with something truly original.
    • It can also serve as a stylish decoration for your home.
    • Furthermore, it makes a perfect and original gift for anyone who loves history, fantasy, or simply rather unusual items.

What to be mindful of and how to care for the horn:

To ensure your horn lasts as long as possible and stays looking its best, please keep a few things in mind:

  1. What (not) to put in it: The horn is intended for cold and lukewarm drinks. It's ideal for ale, mead, wine, or soft drinks. Please avoid hot beverages (coffee, tea, mulled wine) – these could potentially damage the horn material and the inner coating. Do not use it for drinks with an alcohol content exceeding 20% ABV.
  2. Cleaning: Forget the dishwasher! Wash the horn strictly by hand under running lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Remember to rinse it thoroughly before its first use as well.
  3. Maintenance: For a longer lifespan and to maintain its natural appearance, it's advisable to treat the horn with a small amount of beeswax after each use, once it's thoroughly dry (just rubbing in a tiny bit is sufficient).
  4. Natural Product: Please bear in mind that the horn is a natural product. Over time, it may naturally degrade and could potentially develop cracks. However, with proper care, you can significantly extend its lifespan.

Treat yourself to this impressive drinking horn and raise a toast in style – whether with friends or simply for the sheer joy of owning such a unique piece! Cheers!
