200ml Horn Cup Set "Direwolf" – Toast Like the King in the North
Unique Design and Master Craftsmanship
The foundation of this set is high-quality, ethically sourced buffalo horn. The surface is carefully polished to a high gloss, highlighting the material's natural shades – from deep black through marbled brown to ivory white. The dominant feature is the hand-engraved Direwolf motif. The engraving is filled with contrasting white colour so that the predator's fierce expression immediately catches the eye.
The cups feature a "tumbler" shape with a flattened bottom, allowing them to stand stably on a table without needing a separate stand. The interior is treated with a special food-safe varnish, ensuring that your drink retains its authentic taste and is safe to consume. The package also includes a stylish black cotton bag with the Lord of Battles logo, protecting the cups during transport to your next event.

Historical Insight: A Tradition as Old as Time
Drinking from horns isn't just a trope from Viking movies. This tradition goes deep into antiquity. Horns were readily available materials for Thracians, Germanic tribes, and Celts alike. They served not only for everyday drinking but also in rituals to seal oaths and alliances. Interestingly, drinking from horns is even depicted on the famous Bayeux Tapestry, which documents the Norman conquest of England in 1066. With this cup, you hold a piece of living history in your hand.
How to Care for Your Horn
Horn is a natural material that deserves proper care to last for ages. If you follow these simple rules, the cup will serve you faithfully:
- Suitable Drinks: Cold and lukewarm beverages. Ale, mead, wine, and water taste best from a horn.
- Unsuitable Drinks: NEVER pour hot drinks (coffee, tea) into the cup; the heat could melt the internal varnish and cause the horn to crack. Also, avoid beverages with an alcohol content above 20% (spirits) and highly acidic fluids.
- Washing: NEVER put the cup in a dishwasher! Wash it by hand only using lukewarm water and mild soap. Do not use abrasive sponges or microwaves.
- Maintenance: Dry the cup immediately after washing with a soft cloth. Occasionally, you can polish the outer surface with a little vegetable oil to maintain its shine.
