Handmade drinking horn (0.6L) made from genuine cattle horn

The handcrafted drinking horn made of genuine cow horn should never be cleaned in the dishwasher, as heat and harsh detergents can damage the material and the sealant.

For cleaning and removing strong odors, the following steps are recommended: - Cleaning tablets: Use denture cleaning tablets (e.g., Kukident). Dissolve one tablet in approximately 100–200 ml of lukewarm water directly inside the horn and let it soak for at least one hour.

- Manual cleaning: Use lukewarm water, a little mild dish soap, and a soft bottle brush. Rinse the horn thoroughly immediately after use.

- Drying: After cleaning, allow the horn to air dry completely upside down to prevent mold and odors.

- Exterior care: To keep the horn supple, the outside can occasionally be rubbed with vegetable oil (e.g., linseed oil).

This handcrafted drinking horn, made from genuine cow horn, is suitable for both cold and hot beverages such as water, fruit juice, beer, wine, or mead. Hot liquids should be avoided, as they can make the natural material brittle. It is also recommended not to use highly acidic drinks (such as lemon juice or cola), as these can damage the keratin and the food-safe inner coating.

To prevent the drinking horn from drying out and cracking, it should be regularly rubbed and polished on the outside with vegetable oil (e.g., olive oil or sunflower oil) to keep the surface supple. Furthermore, the horn should never be cleaned in a dishwasher, soaked for extended periods, or exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight, or frost. After cleaning, the horn should be thoroughly dried and stored with the opening facing downwards to dry completely and prevent stress cracks.

Various accessories are available for the 0.6L drinking horn, primarily crafted from natural and traditional materials: - Belt holders: These are made from robust genuine leather (e.g., cowhide or buffalo leather) and are often available in black or brown, as well as with various embossings or lacing options. Adjustable holders or size 3 models are particularly suitable for the 0.6L size.

- Drinking horn stands: For stylish storage, there are stands made of hand-forged iron (steel), often twisted or shaped like the Omega symbol. Artistically carved stands made of fine wood (e.g., soar wood) are also available.

- Variety of materials: The accessories are primarily made of vegetable-tanned leather, wrought iron, or carefully crafted wood.
