This horn mug is a bit different from our usual mugs. Its design is relatively classic with the same kind of nicely shaped horn core, but its base is made of solid wood giving it a very authentic look. This flat natural wood base makes it to where you can sit it down when not in use, unlike traditional drinking horns. And of course, like all our other horn mugs it has been fully cleaned, polished and sealed inside with a food-safe sealant so it is perfectly safe to drink from. The horn is rimmed with 100% pure brass for a gorgeous presentation.  Holds Approximately 10-12 fl oz *Please wash with a gentle detergent and polish with vegetable oil to keep it from drying out. And from time to time you will want to use beeswax to coat the inside to keep from cracking and the inside drying out. Do not fill with coffee or other hot beverages. Do not put in the dishwasher. Please remember this is a natural item and each piece is unique.
