COPPERVEDA Viking Drinking Horn 12 Inch — Food-Grade Ox Horn with Iron Stand, Natural Shine Finish

A handcrafted 12-inch COPPERVEDA OLDEMPEROR Viking drinking horn made from genuine food-grade ox horn, finished to a natural shine and presented with an iron stand for display and use.

This authentic drinking horn blends traditional craft with modern food-safety standards. Each horn is individually selected and hand-polished in our workshop to reveal unique color variations and natural grain patterns, then finished for safe use with cold or warm beverages. The horn holds approximately 10–14 ounces and ships with a protective gift bag and an iron stand, making it ready for gifting or tabletop display.

How is this horn made and is it food safe?

Every OLDEMPEROR horn begins as an ethically sourced ox horn that undergoes cleaning, shaping, and careful polishing. COPPERVEDA treats and seals the interior to meet food-grade standards, ensuring the horn is suitable for beer, mead, soda, or other drinks. Our workshop rejects horns that do not meet quality or safety criteria.

• Hand-polished exterior revealing natural hues and patterns
• Interior finished with food-safe sealing for beverage use
• Horns are selected and inspected; only premium pieces are used
• Holds roughly 10–14 oz (depending on horn curvature)

What makes this a good gift and how does it arrive?

The OLDEMPEROR horn arrives prepared for gifting: tucked into a soft gift bag and paired with a sturdy iron stand for display. Its historic aesthetic and authentic material make it a memorable present for enthusiasts of Viking history, handcrafted goods, or unique barware. The natural finish and individual color patterns give each gift personality.

• Comes with protective gift bag for storage and presentation
• Includes iron stand for upright display on shelves or tables
• Ideal for birthdays, Father’s Day, anniversaries, or novelty gifts
• Each horn’s look is unique—no two pieces are identical

How should I clean and care for my drinking horn?

Care is simple: rinse promptly after use and avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher cleaning to protect the finish and sealed interior. For best longevity, hand-wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Periodic reapplication of food-safe oil to the exterior can preserve the natural shine and prevent drying.

• Hand-wash only; avoid dishwashers and long soaking
• Dry completely before storing in the included bag
• Use mild soap and warm water; avoid abrasive scrubbers
• Optional: a light coat of food-safe oil keeps the horn glossy

Can I use it for hot drinks or just cold beverages?

The OLDEMPEROR horn is suitable for both cold and moderately warm drinks like beer, mead, or warm cider. Very high temperatures may affect the finish or seal, so avoid pouring boiling liquids directly into the horn. When used carefully, it functions well as a distinctive drinking vessel at meals and gatherings.

• Safe for cold and warm beverages; not recommended for boiling liquids
• Ideal for beer, mead, soda, and warm cider
• Natural horn adapts to room-temperature serving and slightly warm pours
• Use caution with very hot liquids to protect seals and finish
