A Serpentine, Wingless Dragon
This dragon is like no other in our shop: a long, serpentine body with no wings, five claws, a jagged dorsal crest, and flowing whiskers. It emerges from a swirl of sculpted clouds, and its body forms the entire handle of the mug. An iridescent gem is set on the body. 500 ml, in pale gold or bronze. Find it among our Viking mugs.
What Sets This Piece Apart
- Double wall: an outer shell of sculpted resin and a removable food-grade stainless steel interior cup. Your drink only touches metal.
- Dragon body handle: the tail hooks to the bottom of the mug, the head hangs over the rim. The grip is formed by the loop of the body.
- Bas-relief clouds: the swirls cover the entire surface and serve as a background for the dragon, with no smooth areas.
- Two finishes: pale gold provides an antique gilded bronze look, while bronze offers a darker, more contrasted finish.
- Hand-applied patina: the recesses remain dark, while the edges catch the light. No two pieces are exactly identical.
Complete the table with our Viking chalices or a natural yak drinking horn.

Did you know?
The Far Eastern dragon, the lóng, is almost the opposite of the European dragon. It has no wings yet flies; it does not breathe fire but commands the rain and the rivers; it does not guard treasure in a cavern but inhabits the clouds and the seas. Most importantly, it is benevolent: associated with the emperor, fertile harvests, and good fortune, whereas Fáfnir or Beowulf’s dragon are plagues that must be vanquished. Two imaginaries that share the same name and two opposite beasts.

Which capacity to choose?
| Capacity | What it amounts to | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 380 ml | A little more than a 330 ml can | A size under 400 ml: you can hold it for a long time without tiring your wrist, for a drink you savor rather than a round. |
| 450 ml | A 330 ml can plus a generous top-up | The compromise for heavily sculpted models: a whole beer, without the weight of a 600 ml tankard once full. |
| 500 ml this product | A 500 ml bottle, filled to the brim | The beer drinker's benchmark: a whole 500 ml bottle fits, but with no room for the head. |
| 600 ml | A 500 ml bottle, with the room the head needs | The size for long feasts: you pour once and don't get up again. Full, it takes a firm grip. |
| About 420 to 550 ml | Roughly a pint | Capacity given as a range: each piece differs slightly. Choose it if a piece that isn't calibrated doesn't bother you. |
Is this a Viking-inspired item?
No. The iconography is that of the Eastern dragon, not Norse, and we would rather say so. It joins our banquet range for its double-wall construction and its size, not for its symbolism.
Are the two colors the same tankard?
Yes, same mold and same capacity. Only the patina changes: pale gold or dark bronze.
What is the capacity?
About 500 ml, with an empty weight of 620 g, making it one of our largest sculpted tankards.
Is it dishwasher-safe?
No. The heat dulls the patina and can separate the resin from the steel. Wash the liner by hand in lukewarm water.
