The Drinking Horn in History

Drinking horns are among the oldest drinking vessels in human history. Their use is documented thousands of years back across various cultures—from the Thracians and Greeks to the Celts, Germanic tribes, and of course, the Vikings. While a simple, unadorned horn served the common people, for the elite and for ceremonies, horns were decorated with precious metals and engravings, making them symbols of power and wealth.

A Point of Interest: Horns in Norse Mythology

In Norse myths, horns play a key role. The god Heimdall owns the Gjallarhorn, which he will sound to announce the beginning of Ragnarök, the end of the world. The chief god Odin himself, according to legend, drank from a horn filled with water from the well of wisdom of the god Mímir to gain all knowledge. Drinking from a horn was thus not just about quenching thirst but was symbolically linked with knowledge, rituals, and fateful events.

Care and Important Warnings for Your Horn

To ensure your drinking horn serves you for many years and retains its beauty, it is essential to follow a few simple rules.

How to Care for Your Horn

• Hand-wash only: Wash the horn by hand in lukewarm water with a little mild soap. Rinse it thoroughly.
• Dry thoroughly: Immediately dry the horn with a cloth after washing and let it air-dry completely, ideally with the opening facing down to allow any residual moisture to drain.
• Occasional Maintenance: You can occasionally wipe the outer surface of the horn with a small amount of natural oil (e.g., linseed or coconut oil) to prevent it from drying out and cracking.

What to Absolutely Avoid

• NEVER use a dishwasher: The high heat and aggressive detergents would irreversibly destroy the horn.
• NO hot beverages: Do not pour coffee, tea, mulled wine, or other hot liquids into the horn. The heat can deform the material and damage the inner resin.
• LIMITATIONS on alcohol: Not suitable for beverages with an alcohol content above 20% ABV. Strong spirits could damage the inner lining.
• NO highly acidic drinks: Avoid pure juices and drinks with high acidity, which could damage the resin lining over time.
• NO prolonged soaking: Do not leave liquids in the horn for longer than necessary (e.g., overnight).
• NEVER use a microwave: Under no circumstances does the horn belong in a microwave oven.
