📦

Our smaller tankard, Balder, holds roughly 350 ml. A genuine pagan beer tankard. Available with two finish options: fully polished or a more natural variant. Raise a proper toast in true Viking fashion, in the company of good friends. The practical handle also makes the tankard easy to hang from your belt. The model is very durable and suitable for all types of drink, but is not suitable for hot drinks. The inside is polished and lacquered. The base is made of wood, sealed with resin, which guarantees it is leak-free. Hand wash only.

Measurements & Materials

Cow horn is a fantastic material that until about 100 years ago was widely used for many things. When plastic arrived, it replaced horn in many everyday items that had traditionally been made by hand. People used to make spoons, combs, eyeglass frames and shoe horns out of horn, among other things.
Our horn products are made in Uttar Pradesh in India, where the cow is considered sacred and no part may go to waste at slaughter. The horns are cleaned, sorted, boiled and polished before they are shaped. Horn is very strong and fully compostable, a sustainable material, both for you and the environment.

Care

Goods in horn are washed by hand with water and detergent. They must not be washed in a dishwasher.
Not microwave safe.

Details

The bottom is made of food-safe resin, ensuring it is free from leaks.
