Drinking Horn Video HERE
Not only are the drinking horns popular with our historical re-enactment customers but they are also popular with hospitality businesses, beer drinkers, film and theatre companies and the general public.
Using traditional methods of manufacture Lord of Battles has revived the age old craft of turning waste products from humanely slaughtered domestic cattle (Bos Taurus) into useful everyday items like drinking horns. Each individual horn as its own unique natural glaze and patterning which are enhanced by the craftsmen making these products so each drinking horn is unique.
Each horn also comes with either a wooden or metal stand so it can be placed upright on a flat surface. We can also provide leather belt holders in a variety of sizes for most of the horns.
All of the horns listed here have had their interior coated to make them 100% safe to use. All are suitable for cold liquids and most for warm/hot liquids but not for very hot/boiling liquids. On arrival in New Zealand they are inspected by the Ministry of Primary Industries.
The horns come in different sizes and being natural products there is a wide range of shapes, colouration and liquid capacity within each size range. The photos accompanying each product listing are indicative of the horns or tankards of that type.
We recommend washing your drinking horn or tankard with hot soapy water when you receive it. The horn may smell slightly pungent and the interior may have loose small flakes. The smell is natural and does not sour the drink. It will vanish over time but if you want to remove it faster you can wash the horn more. The flaking is excess varnish which is harmless if injested.
Note that we cannot provide custom made or personalised drinking horns.
