The History of Drinking Vessels Made from Horn

Drinking vessels made from horn are among the oldest in human history. They were used across cultures for thousands of years, from the ancient Greeks to the Celts and Germanic tribes. For the Vikings, a horn cup or tankard was a common part of daily life as well as celebratory feasts. While common warriors had simple, functional vessels, the tankards of nobles and kings were often decorated with engravings and precious metals to demonstrate their status and power.

A Point of Interest: The Dragon as the Symbol of House Targaryen

The three-headed dragon engraved on this tankard is the sigil of House Targaryen from the world of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' (Game of Thrones). Each head symbolises one of the conquerors of Westeros: Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys. The dragons were the source of their power, the key to conquering the continent, and a symbol of their Valyrian heritage. Their house motto, "Fire and Blood," perfectly captures the essence of this powerful and feared creature. By holding this tankard, you hold a piece of fascinating fictional history in your hands.

Care Instructions and Important Warnings

Natural horn is a beautiful but specific material. To ensure your tankard lasts for as long as possible, you must care for it properly.

How to Care for Your Tankard

• Hand-wash only: Wash the tankard exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using a mild soap. Then, rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
• Dry carefully: Dry the tankard immediately with a soft cloth after washing. Do not let it stand in water.
• Regular Maintenance: From time to time, you can wipe the outer surface with a thin layer of natural oil (e.g., coconut oil) to help the material retain its elasticity and shine.

What to Absolutely Avoid

• NEVER use a dishwasher: The hot water and chemicals in a dishwasher would permanently damage and deform the tankard.
• NO hot beverages: Do not pour coffee, tea, mulled wine, or other hot liquids into it. This could damage both the horn and the inner resin lining.
• LIMITATIONS on alcohol: Not suitable for beverages with an alcohol content above 20% ABV. Strong spirits could attack the protective inner layer.
• NO highly acidic beverages: Pure citrus juices and other highly acidic drinks can damage the inner coating over time.
• NO prolonged soaking: Do not leave drinks sitting in the tankard for hours or overnight.
• NEVER use a microwave: Using the tankard in a microwave would lead to its destruction.
