NORSE EMPIRE Viking Horn Mug 16–20oz Handmade Ox Horn Tankard — Food-Safe Lacquered for Hot & Cold Drinks

Handmade from genuine ox horn, the NORSE EMPIRE Viking Horn Mug is a 16–20oz food-safe tankard crafted in the style of historic Norse drinking vessels for enjoying beer, mead, coffee and more.

Bring a piece of Viking tradition to your table with a single, individually finished horn mug that blends historical styling with modern safety. Each cup is carved from ethically sourced ox horn, finished inside with a non-toxic, food-grade lacquer, and polished so the natural patterns and tones of the horn become a focal point. These mugs are sturdy for everyday use yet unique enough to serve as a conversation-starting collectible or themed gift.

What makes this horn mug suitable for both hot and cold drinks?

The interior of each NORSE EMPIRE horn mug is sealed with a 100% food-safe lacquer that protects the horn and prevents liquid absorption. That finish allows you to enjoy cold beverages like beer or mead as well as warm drinks such as coffee or hot chocolate without compromising safety.

• Food-safe, non-toxic interior coating
• Holds roughly 16–20 ounces depending on horn shape
• Polished exterior for comfortable grip and heat resistance
• Suitable for both indoor use and outdoor gatherings

How does the mug’s natural horn material affect appearance and care?

Every mug displays the unique grain, color gradations and markings of the original ox horn, so no two pieces match. Because it’s a natural material, avoid prolonged soaking and high dishwasher heat; gentle handwashing and occasional oiling will maintain luster and longevity.

• Color and size vary—each piece is one of a kind
• Handwash recommended; dry thoroughly after cleaning
• Occasional food-safe oiling can preserve sheen
• Not intended for microwave use
