Description
This small drinking vessel is fashioned from genuine animal horn, a material prized for centuries by smiths and drinkers for its resilience and natural charm. The cup’s distinctive triangular form is carefully shaped by hand, following the horn’s own curves and contours. A sturdy handle is forged and attached to ensure a firm grip, practical for hearty toasts or quiet moments by the fire. Each cup bears the unique grain and markings of the horn from which it was taken, making every piece truly one of a kind. To keep the horn in good condition, it’s best to wash it by hand and rinse thoroughly before each use, as the material responds poorly to harsh cleaning or dishwashers.
- Overall dimensions: Approximately 4″ x 3″ x 2-1/8″
- Capacity: Approximately 8 oz
Fun fact: Vikings didn’t just drink from horns,they often used them as symbols of rank and celebration during feasts, sometimes adorning them with intricate carvings or metalwork to reflect their owner’s status and tales of valor.
