Trace the evolution of drinkware from ceremonial horns to functional mugs. While the redesign in the 15th century brought stability and increased sanitation with a stable base, the original drinking horn persisted. Military units favored its simplicity of carrying, and in European societies, it transformed into a symbol of nobility with adornments of gold, silver, and gemstones.
Preserve the integrity of your Viking Mug by avoiding hot beverages for drinking or cleaning, as hot liquids may compromise the protective coatings. Handwashing is recommended to maintain the unique features and longevity of this historical artifact.
