{"title":"Drinking Horns \u0026 Viking Mugs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together our \u003cstrong\u003eViking drinking horns and mugs\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ox horn, light or dark buffalo horn, yak horn, horn-shaped blown glass: most of these are pieces made from \u003cstrong\u003ereal natural materials\u003c\/strong\u003e, shaped and polished by hand. This changes everything—the object, its maintenance, and even how its capacity is stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy capacity is given as a range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will notice that many of our horns do not show a precise number but an interval: \"420 to 480 ml\", \"501 to 550 ml\", \"300 to 400 ml\". This is not commercial imprecision; it is the direct consequence of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA horn grows on an animal. Its curvature, thickness, diameter at the base, and length vary from one beast to another, and no workshop can make them identical without machining them to the point of denaturing them. Two horns from the same batch can differ by several tens of milliliters. We prefer to announce the actual range rather than an average capacity that half the pieces would not meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:1em 0;\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\n      \u003cth style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;text-align:left;\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n      \u003cth style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;text-align:left;\"\u003eEquivalent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n      \u003cth style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;text-align:left;\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e380 to 410 ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003ehalf a liter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003etable horn, held in one hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e420 to 500 ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003ehalf a liter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003ethe most common format\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e500 to 700 ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003emore than a pint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.35);padding:.5em;\"\u003ebanquet horn, placed on a stand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same logic applies to the color: a light buffalo horn leans toward ivory with amber veins, while a dark horn turns brownish-black with translucent areas. These marblings are not an applied decoration; they are the animal's growth streaks. \u003cstrong\u003eNone of our horns is identical to the one in the photo\u003c\/strong\u003e—it will look like it, without being a copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance: the rule of natural horns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the part you must read before buying, because a poorly maintained horn will warp or crack, and none of this damage is repairable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNever use hot water.\u003c\/strong\u003e Horn is keratin: above about forty degrees Celsius, it softens and deforms. Rinse with cold or lukewarm water, never boiling. \u003cstrong\u003eNever use a dishwasher\u003c\/strong\u003e, which combines everything it hates: heat, steam, and alkaline detergents. \u003cstrong\u003eNo hot drinks either\u003c\/strong\u003e, for the same reason—the horn is made for beer, mead, and cider, served chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, rinse and dry immediately, tip down, and never let a residue of drink stagnate overnight. Two or three times a year, apply a drop of neutral food-grade oil to the inside with a cloth: this nourishes the material and prevents it from drying out. Finally, if your new horn gives off a slight odor in the first few days—which is common and normal—a rinse with cold water mixed with baking soda or lemon juice will make it disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe drinking horn: the object and its history\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the Viking objects sold today, the drinking horn is the one whose ancient use is best documented—and by far the most interesting. It was not just one container among others: it was the instrument of a ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat archaeology has revealed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA problem arises immediately: horn is keratin, and keratin decomposes. What lasts through the centuries are the \u003cstrong\u003emetal fittings\u003c\/strong\u003e—the mouthpiece, the tip, the reinforcing bands—found alone in graves, drawing the outline of the vanished object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most spectacular pieces come from England. The \u003cstrong\u003eSutton Hoo\u003c\/strong\u003e burial yielded horns mounted with gilded silver, fashioned from \u003cstrong\u003eaurochs\u003c\/strong\u003e horns—the wild ancestor of our oxen, which disappeared in the 17th century—the capacity of which is estimated at \u003cstrong\u003eseveral liters\u003c\/strong\u003e. Obviously, one did not drink that alone: the horn was passed around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Scandinavian side, the \u003cstrong\u003epicture stones of Gotland\u003c\/strong\u003e show the scene recurrently: a woman standing, handing a horn to an arriving rider. It is the image of welcome par excellence, and it has fueled the iconography of the valkyries receiving warriors—a motif detailed in our dossier on the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/valkyries-guerrieres-odin-valhalla\"\u003evalkyries of Odin\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrinking was not just drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nordic banquet had its rules and a name: the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003esumbl\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. One did not drink freely; one drank in turn, reciting formulas. Three usages stood out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eminni\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, the memory cups, raised to the gods—to Odin for victory, to Njörðr and Freyr for a good year—then to deceased relatives. The \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ebragarfull\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \"oath cup\": the one who took it had to publicly announce a feat they pledged to accomplish. A word spoken over the horn was as binding as a written contract. Finally, during a funeral banquet, the heir only formally took possession of the paternal property after having \u003cstrong\u003eemptied his father's cup\u003c\/strong\u003e and sat on his seat: the gesture made the succession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical consequence follows, and it explains a habit that still intrigues: \u003cstrong\u003emost horns do not stand upright\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is not a design flaw. A horn that is set down must be empty—so you drink it in one go, or you pass it. The object imposes its own ritual. Regarding what happened to the drinker afterward, our article on \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/valhalla-paradis-guerrier-viking-mort-combat\"\u003eValhalla\u003c\/a\u003e describes the hall where mead flows endlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOx, buffalo, and yak horn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur models are divided into three materials, and the differences are visible to the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOx horn\u003c\/strong\u003e is the closest to what the Scandinavians used: relatively thin walls, a tint ranging from honey to brown, moderate curvature. \u003cstrong\u003eBuffalo horn\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the most contrasted pieces—the light version leans toward ivory with amber veins, the dark version turns brownish-black with translucent areas when held against the light. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003eyak horn\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from the high mountain plateaus: thicker walls, denser material, and a more rustic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn all three cases, it is the same substance—\u003cstrong\u003ekeratin\u003c\/strong\u003e, exactly the same as your nails and hair. This explains all its behavior: it is lightweight, insulating, and rot-proof, but it softens in heat and dries out if neglected. A well-treated horn lasts for decades; a horn put in the dishwasher is lost in one cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe horn-shaped glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blown glass model might seem like a modern invention. It is not. Frankish glass workshops produced \u003cstrong\u003eglass drinking horns\u003c\/strong\u003e as early as the Merovingian period, as well as conical or gadrooned goblets that also could not be set down. These pieces were exported far to the north and are found in Scandinavian graves: glass was a luxury item brought from afar, reserved for the wealthiest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn other words, choosing glass rather than natural material is not a betrayal—it is embracing the other branch, the prestigious branch, of the same tradition. With a modern advantage: you can see the drink, and the maintenance is that of an ordinary glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSculpted mugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, a few pieces made of molded resin, including a Thor's hammer with a built-in bottle opener, built like our tankards: a decorative shell and a food-grade \u003cstrong\u003e304 stainless steel cup\u003c\/strong\u003e inside. These are not horns and do not pretend to be. Their appeal is different: no maintenance constraints, no capacity variation, and the possibility of a sculpted design that a natural horn does not allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich horn for which use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capacity table gives the volume; three questions decide the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill you really drink from it?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the first thing to decide, because it separates everything. For real and regular use, the natural horn requires an immediate rinse after each serving—it is little, but it is systematic. If you know you will not do it, the horn-shaped glass or the steel-lined mug will give you the same pleasure without the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo stand or not to stand.\u003c\/strong\u003e Models mounted on a wooden base can be placed on a table and become everyday objects. Raw horns are placed on a stand or passed from hand to hand—they are made for the banquet table, not the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe intended drink.\u003c\/strong\u003e Beer, cider, mead: everything works, served chilled. However, natural horn definitely excludes hot drinks, and it is better to avoid letting a strong, aromatic alcohol age in it, as it will permeate the material. For coffee or tea, look toward a steel-lined mug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGiving a drinking horn as a gift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the most striking gifts in the department—it has a story to tell the moment you give it—but it requires a precaution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarn them about maintenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e A natural horn given without a word will one day end up in the dishwasher, and it will be lost. One sentence is enough: cold water, immediate drying, never hot. Slip it into the card; it's worth more than a long speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariation is part of the gift.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tint, veining, and curvature differ from one piece to another: the one you are giving exists in only one copy. This is a point to highlight, not hide—many people are sensitive to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe model with a jute bag is the most complete.\u003c\/strong\u003e It can be carried over the shoulder, stored, and gives the object a use beyond the table—festivals, reenactments, evenings with friends. For a gift where you are hesitating, it is the safest choice in the department.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you really drink from a natural horn?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, that is their use. The inside is polished and treated for food contact. Keep it for cold drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is capacity announced as a range?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because horn is a natural material whose dimensions vary from one animal to another. We prefer to announce the actual interval rather than a misleading average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the horn I receive be identical to the photo?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, and that is normal. Tint, veining, and curvature differ from one piece to another. The photo shows a representative example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you serve a hot drink in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Above about forty degrees, the keratin softens and the horn deforms permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy new horn has an odor, is that normal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is common for a natural material. A rinse with cold water with a little baking soda or lemon removes it in one or two goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a horn stand up on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e Some models are mounted on a wooden base that allows it. Others are placed on a stand or emptied before being set down—which is, incidentally, the origin of the tradition of drinking a horn in one go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the delivery times and costs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tracked delivery is free for orders over €49, regardless of the country of delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso explore:\u003c\/strong\u003e discover our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/chopes-tasses-vikings\"\u003eViking tankards\u003c\/a\u003e, our entire collection of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/chopes-mugs-tasses-vikings\"\u003eNordic tableware\u003c\/a\u003e, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/meilleures-ventes\"\u003ebest sellers\u003c\/a\u003e.

A famous legend from Snorri's Edda recounts that he was challenged by the giant Utgarda-Loki to empty a horn whose tip was secretly connected to the ocean. Thor drank with such fervor that he lowered the sea level, thus creating, according to the myth, the very first tides in history. Using this mug is a tribute to this legendary thirst capable of transforming the world under the sovereign gaze of the All-Father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other Viking mugs you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/mug-viking-corne-naturelle-sac-jute\" title=\"Mug Viking Style Corne : L'Héritage Nordique (Avec Sac)\"\u003eHorn-Style Viking Mug: The Nordic Legacy (With Bag)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/mug-viking-corne-naturelle-sac-jute\" title=\"Mug Viking Style Corne Sombre : L'Ombre du Corbeau (Avec Sac)\"\u003eDark Horn-Style Viking Mug: Shadow of the Raven (With Bag)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/corne-viking-naturelle-mug-boisson-traditionnelle\" title=\"Corne Viking Naturelle Mug Boisson Traditionnelle\"\u003eNatural Viking Horn Traditional Drinking Mug\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"600 ml","offer_id":56777220522366,"sku":"14:193#Silver;26:200007969#600ml","price":79.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/mug-viking-marteau-thor-mjolnir-decapsuleur.jpg?v=1785618593"},{"product_id":"mug-viking-corne-naturelle-sac-jute","title":"Natural Horn Viking Mug: The Nordic Legacy (With Bag)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAn Ox Horn, Not an Imitation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cb\u003eViking mug\u003c\/b\u003e is carved from a real, hand-polished ox horn, fitted with a wooden base and featuring a closed handle.
