Trondebal Viking Drinking Horn Mug — 15–20 oz Ox-Horn Tankard with Metal Rim & Burlap Gift Sack

Trondebal's Viking Drinking Horn Mug is a handcrafted ox-horn tankard with a food-safe interior, a polished metal rim, and a 15–20 oz capacity—complete with a burlap gift sack and bottle opener.

This drinking horn blends historic styling with modern food-safety and everyday durability. Each piece is carved from ethically sourced ox horn, coated inside with a non-toxic lacquer, and finished with a metal rim and comfortable handle. No two horns are identical, making every cup a one-of-a-kind keepsake ideal for collectors, party hosts, or anyone who wants a standout barware item.

What makes this horn mug safe and usable for everyday drinks?

The interior is sealed with a food-grade lacquer so it’s safe for beer, mead, cider, whiskey and cold water. The coating prevents flavor transfer and makes cleaning straightforward—hand wash only. The metal rim reinforces the horn’s mouth and reduces chipping risk during regular use.

• Food-safe interior lacquer prevents absorption and odor retention
• Stainless metal rim adds durability and a refined finish
• Handwash recommended to protect natural horn and coating
• Suitable for cold beverages including beer, mead, cider, and whiskey

How large is the horn and how much does it hold?

The Trondebal horn mug measures to fit comfortably in one hand while offering a generous drinking volume. Capacity ranges around 15–20 ounces (approximately 500 ml), making it ideal for standard pours of ale, craft beer, or a mixed spirit. Because horn varies naturally, exact shape and weight will differ slightly between items.

• Approximately 15–20 oz (around 500 ml) capacity
• Comfortable handle for steady grip and pouring
• Natural variations in color, texture and shape make each horn unique
• Polished rim for stable drinking and a premium look

How should I care for and store the horn to preserve it?

Gentle care keeps the horn attractive and functional for years. Always hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking, dishwashers, or extreme heat—store in a cool, ventilated spot away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration.

• Hand wash only—no soaking or dishwashing
• Use mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry completely
• Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight to avoid damage
• Occasional conditioning with food-safe oil can preserve sheen
