Description
Let your gatherings echo with the spirit of old Norse tradition as you drink from this handcrafted Viking horn tankard. Fashioned from solid ox horn and hand-polished to a glossy finish, each piece embraces the wild character of nature—no two mugs are ever alike in their markings, shade, or grain. The sweeping horn handle, carved directly from the same source, offers both strength and authenticity in every grip.
Adorning the body is a bold Celtic wolf design, carefully engraved with intertwining knotwork lines. This emblem of ferocity, loyalty, and freedom reflects the heart of the warrior—fierce in battle, steadfast to kin. Such motifs were revered in both Norse and Celtic tribes, where they symbolized unbreakable bonds and primal power.
Whether you’re lifting it at a wedding, a festive gathering, or a themed celebration, this tankard elevates every toast. With a generous 600ml capacity, it’s ideal for traditional drinks like cold ale, mead, or cider—connecting you to a long legacy of communal feasting and storytelling.
Every tankard is crafted by skilled artisans using ethically sourced horn, then finished with a food-safe interior polish to ensure safe, enjoyable use. Included is a custom cotton canvas bag, perfect for gifting or carrying your tankard with pride.
A standout addition to any historical drinkware collection or rustic table, this piece embodies a living tradition—rugged, noble, and unforgettable.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
•Hand wash only – do not soak or place in a dishwasher
•Avoid hot beverages – excessive heat may warp or crack the horn
•Dry thoroughly after each use
•Apply a thin layer of food-safe oil or beeswax occasionally to maintain shine
•Avoid prolonged contact with acidic liquids to preserve polish
•Store in a cool, dry environment — minor surface cracks may appear over time as part of natural aging
