History and Symbolism of Horn Vessels

Horns in Celtic Culture

For the Celts, as with many other ancient cultures, drinking horns held a significant position. They were not just practical vessels but often also symbols of abundance, strength, and social status. They were used on festive occasions, in rituals, and at feasts, where toasts were made to the health of the gods and ancestors. Engravings on the horns could have a protective meaning or refer to tribal affiliation or mythological stories.

A Point of Interest: Celtic Luck Symbols

Celtic art is known for its intricate knots and spirals. The symbol engraved on this tankard is inspired by these ancient motifs, which often had no beginning and no end, thus symbolising the infinity of life, interconnectedness, and protection. Many Celtic symbols were considered talismans that brought luck, strength, or protection from evil forces. This tankard thus carries the legacy of the rich Celtic tradition and their belief in the power of symbols.

How to Care for Your Horn Tankard

To ensure your unique horn tankard serves you for as long as possible and retains its original beauty, it is important to follow a few simple care rules.

What Belongs in the Tankard (and What Doesn't)

SUITABLE FOR: Cold and lukewarm beverages. You can safely enjoy beer, mead, wine, cider, water, or soft drinks. The tankard is designed for drinks with an alcohol content of up to 20%.

NOT SUITABLE FOR:

• Hot beverages (coffee, tea, mulled wine) – high temperatures could damage the natural horn material and the inner resin layer.
• Beverages with over 20% alcohol content – stronger alcohol could, over time, affect the resin.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• NEVER use a dishwasher: Aggressive cleaning agents and high temperatures would permanently damage the tankard.
• Washing: After each use, wash the tankard by hand under running lukewarm water. You can use a small amount of mild washing-up liquid, but always rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Immediately after washing, carefully dry the tankard with a soft cloth. Do not leave it wet for long periods or let it air-dry on its own, to prevent potential cracking.
• Storage: When not in use, keep the tankard in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The included Mythrojan canvas pouch is ideal for storage.

Remember: Your horn tankard is made from a natural material. Each piece is an absolute original in terms of colour, grain, and shape. With loving care, it will bring you joy for many years and witness countless adventures!
