Elegant Ladies' Viking Drinking Horn "Lady Viking" (350ml) – Real Horn, Brass, Leather Holder

What Does it Look Like?

At first glance, its slender, elegant shape catches the eye, fitting comfortably in the hand. It's crafted from real horn, carefully selected and perfectly polished to a high shine. The horn's colour is typically dark, often almost black, creating a beautiful contrast with the metal fittings. As it's a natural material, each piece is an absolute original with unique grain and subtle colour variations. The luxurious appearance is enhanced by the decorated brass rim featuring an engraved pattern (often Celtic or medieval in style) and an elegant brass tip, which both protects and adorns the horn.

What Do You Get with It?

• Capacity: approx. 350 ml – an ideal size for wine, mead, cider, or a smaller measure of ale.
• Leather Holder/Frog: Included is a practical yet beautiful holder made from quality black leather, designed for comfortable carrying on a belt. It's decorated with a stylish brass emblem (may vary by batch, resembles a fleur-de-lis in the photo) and features side lacing to securely grip the horn.
• Safety: The inside of the horn is treated with food-safe resin, making it safe for contact with drinks and preventing leaks.
• Protective Bag: It comes supplied in a protective Mythrojan cloth bag, keeping it safe during transit and suitable for storage.

When and How to Use It?

• In the Past: Drinking horns were used not only by warriors but also by nobility and ladies on ceremonial occasions, at feasts, and during rituals. They were symbols of status and abundance.
• Today: This elegant horn is the perfect accessory for:
• Historical festivals, LARP, fantasy events: Perfectly complements your costume as a Viking shieldmaiden, medieval noblewoman, elf, or perhaps a sorceress.
• Themed parties and weddings: Be the star of the evening with an original touch.
• Garden parties and gatherings with friends: Enjoy your favourite drink (perhaps wine or mead, as the original description suggests) in true style.
• As a luxurious gift: It will delight any woman with an interest in history, fantasy, or simply beautiful and unusual items.
• Decoration: Even when not in use, it makes a stunning decorative piece for your home.

What to Watch Out For – What Doesn't Go In?

As with all real horns, the following applies:

• ❌ Hot Drinks: Not suitable for coffee, tea, mulled wine, etc. High temperatures could damage the horn.
• ❌ Strong Spirits: Not intended for drinks with an alcohol content over 20% ABV.
• ❌ Dishwashers: The dishwasher is strictly off-limits for natural horn!

How to Look After Your Horn So It Brings You Joy for Ages?

Care is straightforward:

1. Before First Use: Wash it by hand in lukewarm water with a drop of standard washing-up liquid and rinse thoroughly.
2. After Each Use: Wash it by hand again as soon as possible in lukewarm water. Don't leave drinks sitting in it for longer than necessary.
3. Drying: After washing, let it air dry (ideally opening downwards, propped up) or gently pat it dry with a cloth.
4. For Extra Care: To maintain the shine and prolong its life, you can occasionally rub the inside and outside with beeswax.
5. Natural Charm: Remember, horn is a natural material. Minor changes in appearance or a patina developing over time are not flaws but a natural part of its character.

Complete your style with this unique and elegant "Lady Viking" drinking horn. Whether you get it for yourself or as a luxurious gift, it's guaranteed to impress and bring plenty of joy with every toast. Cheers!
