Horn Tankard with Brass Handle and Fittings, Black, approx. 800 ml
A Union of Nature and Craftsmanship
This Viking tankard is a perfect example of the harmony between natural material and precise craftsmanship. The body of the tankard is fashioned from a single piece of carefully selected and polished ox horn. Its natural curvature ensures that every piece is a complete original. The brass fittings not only look great but also serve a practical purpose. They strengthen the rims, protect them from damage, and give the tankard stability. The robust brass handle, subtly decorated with a stamped motif, allows for a comfortable and secure grip even when the vessel is full.
How and What to Use it For?
The inside of the tankard is treated with a special lacquer that is certified food-safe. You can therefore enjoy your favourite drinks without any worries. This horn mug is intended exclusively for cold and lukewarm liquids. It is ideally suited for:
- Beer and ale
- Mead and wine
- Water and juices that are not overly acidic
It is a fantastic accessory for historical re-enactment, fantasy costumes, themed weddings, or simply as an original and stylish tankard for everyday use.
A Glimpse into History: Horn in History
Drinking vessels made from the horns of cattle, goats, or sheep are among the oldest in human history. They were readily available, lightweight, and durable. While simple drinking horns were common, vessels with a flat bottom and a handle, like this tankard, represented a more advanced and often more prestigious version. Decoration with metal elements, as seen here, elevated such an object to the status of a luxury item and could reflect the wealth and standing of its owner, whether a Viking chieftain or a medieval nobleman.
