Viking Horn Cups — Small Hand-Carved Horn Glass

Small but mighty — these hand-carved horn cups are the perfect Viking drinking vessel for shots, drams, or a wee dram of mead around the fire. Each one is carved from natural horn and features intricate Nordic knotwork.

Each cup is unique — I will choose one for you from my current stock. If you have a preference (knotwork, ravens, etc.), leave a note at checkout and I'll do our best to match it.

Horns in History

Drinking horns were used throughout Europe by Vikings, Greeks, Romans, Germanic tribes and Saxons up to around the 12th century. Small horn cups are a more recent concept but feel entirely at home at a feast table, campfire, or BBQ.
