The Horn in History
The use of animal horns as drinking vessels has a tradition thousands of years long, dating back to ancient civilisations. They were especially popular among Germanic and Norse tribes, including the Vikings. For them, the drinking horn was not just a practical vessel, but also a significant symbol of abundance, friendship, and social status. Horns were an integral part of feasts, celebrations, and religious ceremonies, and were often placed in the graves of warriors and important figures as a valuable possession for the afterlife.
An Interesting Fact from the Viking Mead Hall
Did you know that at Viking feasts, drinking horns often passed from hand to hand in a circle of feasters? It was customary to drink toasts to the health of the gods (known as fulls), in memory of ancestors, or for the success of future expeditions. Drinking from a common horn was a powerful ritual that strengthened bonds and loyalty within the community.
Proper Care for a Long Life
To ensure your horn cups serve you for as long as possible and retain their unique beauty, please follow these recommendations:
What to do:
- Before the first use, rinse the cups thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- After each use, wash them by hand only with lukewarm water and a drop of mild washing-up liquid.
- Dry them carefully with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
- Store them in a dry, ventilated place, ideally in the provided cloth bag.
What to avoid:
- Never wash them in a dishwasher. The hot water and harsh chemicals would irreparably damage the horn.
- Never heat them in a microwave oven.
- Do not pour hot beverages into them. This could damage the inner resin layer and warp the horn.
- Do not expose them to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
- Do not let drinks stand in them for too long. They are intended for immediate consumption.
- Avoid beverages with an alcohol content above 20% and highly acidic liquids.
