Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are your drinking horns and mugs safe to use for beverages?
Yes. Our drinking horns, mugs, and glasses are carefully finished to ensure a smooth interior suitable for beverages. They are designed for drinks such as water, mead, ale, beer, or other cold beverages. Because horn is a natural material, we recommend avoiding very hot liquids or dishwashers, as extreme heat can affect the finish and shape of the horn.
Q: Why do drinking horns vary in color and shape?
Each horn vessel is made from genuine ox horn, which means every piece has natural variations in color, grain patterns, and curvature. These variations are part of the natural character of horn and make each drinking vessel unique. Rather than being considered imperfections, these differences are valued as a sign of authentic craftsmanship and traditional materials.
Q: How should I care for and maintain horn drinking vessels?
To maintain your drinking horn or mug, rinse it with warm water after use and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it for long periods or placing it in dishwashers. Occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil can help preserve the horn’s natural surface and keep it looking its best. Proper care ensures that your drinking vessel remains durable and attractive for long-term use.
