Horn Shot Glasses, 5pcs Set

Description of the Product

Horns have been crafted into simple and practical drinking vessels for thousands of years. Horn cups were already made and used in ancient civilizations like in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece from the horns of cattle, goats and other animals. During the Viking Age Norse people used drinking horns especially during feasts and celebrations. In medieval Europe, horn cups continued to be popular among different social classes and were used for both everyday drinking and during special occasions. Despite new materials horn cups remained in use also through the Renaissance and early modern period and were used for serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The simple horn cups were commonly used also by European settlers in colonial America both in homes and in taverns. Horn cups were practical for everyday use due to the availability of materials as cattle was abundant in colonial America. Horn cups can be crafted with simple tools from natural, locally available materials. As long as you have cattle, you can have horn cups. Horn cups are also durable and easily portable and this suited well for settlers often on the move.
