New item for 2009!
This is an adaptation of a 17th century drinking horn. Large horns like these would have been passed around between guests at feasts and drinking sessions. They became symbols of status among German people and are sometimes found in graves. Glass horns are made by blowing a cone and drawing it into a curve, which might be twisted to imitate an animal horn. Many different techniques were used to decorate these horns over the centuries.
This piece measures about 10" long and 4" wide.
All of the Jamestown Glasshouse produced pieces are hand-blown and crafted by local artisans. Since every piece is hand blown and crafted there will be slight irregularities and therefore no two items will be exactly the same.
DO NOT PUT THESE HANDBLOWN GLASS ITEMS IN A DISHWASHER OR OVEN THEY ARE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE.
This item does not contain lead.
