The Legacy of Ancient Craftsmen
Drinking vessels made from the horns of cattle and other animals are among the oldest in human history. They were used by Celts, Germanic tribes, and especially the Vikings, for whom a drinking horn was a common part of life and a status symbol. Unlike fragile pottery, horn was durable and lightweight. Richly decorated horns and tankards were the pride of warriors and kings and were often passed down from generation to generation.
A Note on the Lion Rampant
Did you know that the "lion rampant" (a lion standing erect with forepaws raised) is one of the oldest and most common symbols on coats of arms throughout Europe? It represents courage, bravery, royal power, and strength. Drinking from a tankard with such a symbol was once a privilege of nobility and powerful warriors who identified with these qualities.
Modern Technology and Natural Materials
This tankard combines authentic natural material with modern processes to ensure maximum safety and longevity.
- Material: Made from 100% ethically sourced and genuine bovine horn. Each piece has a unique colour and grain.
- Craftsmanship: The tankard is hand-sanded and polished to a high gloss. The bottom is made of durable plastic for perfect stability and a 100% leak-proof seal.
- Inner Lining: The entire interior is carefully sealed with a layer of food-safe resin that meets strict hygiene standards and prevents the beverage from coming into contact with the horn material.
- Design: The handle is elegantly shaped directly from the horn and is an integrated part of the tankard. The dominant feature is the precise engraving of the lion in a white, contrasting finish.

Important Use and Care Instructions
Horn is a natural material and requires proper handling to ensure your tankard serves you for as long as possible.
How to Care For Your Horn:
- Hand-wash only with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap.
- Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
- To restore its shine, you can occasionally rub a drop of coconut or other vegetable oil on the outer surface.
What to Avoid:
- NEVER place it in a dishwasher. The hot water and harsh chemicals will permanently destroy it.
- DO NOT use it for hot beverages (coffee, tea, mulled wine). High temperatures can damage the horn and the inner resin.
- DO NOT fill it with strong liquor (over 20% ABV) or carbonated drinks, as they could degrade the inner lining.
- Do not let it soak in water for long periods, and do not expose it to direct sunlight or heat sources.
