A Glimpse into History: Horns for More Than Just Drinking
Drinking horns are one of the oldest types of drinking vessels, with a history stretching back thousands of years, long before the time of the Vikings. They were used by Celts, Germans, Scythians, and Greeks. For the Vikings, however, they were more than just an ordinary vessel. They were a symbol of status, abundance, and community. Richly decorated horns belonged to chieftains and kings, while simpler horns served warriors at feasts in the longhouses. In Norse mythology, the god Thor himself drank from a horn that was connected to the ocean – try as he might, he could never empty it. These smaller horns would be perfect for ritual toasts in honour of the gods or to celebrate a victory in battle.
How to Care for Your Drinking Horn
To ensure your drinking horn serves you for as long as possible and remains beautiful, please follow a few simple rules. Proper care will guarantee its longevity and hygienic safety.
What to Do:
- Wash the horn by hand only in lukewarm water with a little mild soap.
- Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
- Occasionally, you can wipe the inner and outer surfaces with a small amount of food-grade oil (e.g., coconut oil) to help the horn maintain its natural moisture and shine.
- Store it in a cool, dry place.
What to Avoid:
- Never put the horn in a dishwasher. The hot water and harsh detergents will damage it permanently.
- Never heat it in a microwave oven.
- Do not pour hot beverages into the horn. This could cause the material to warp or crack.
- Avoid beverages with an alcohol content higher than 20% and highly acidic liquids (e.g., pure fruit juices), which could damage the internal protective lacquer.
- Do not leave liquids standing in the horn for too long (several hours). Always rinse it out as soon as possible after finishing your drink.
