HOT ! Ankole Whisky Tumblers - Set of Two

These sustainably and ethically sourced Ankole cow horn tumblers aren\'t just a means to thirst quenching, but are truly a work of art.

Shades of black and white meld together with warmer shades of brown to create an singularly individual drinking vessel whose smooth yet tactile surface is a pleasure to touch.

A unique accompaniment to your favourite tipple, drinks with friends, or to peacefully sip water the morning after! Great as cute mini vases too.

Made from the horn of Ankole cows which are bred for consumption in Uganda. Although the horns are considered a waste product, horn can be a high end, natural material.

These natural horn tumblers were hand carved on a lathe, and then shaped and moulded at high temperatures to fit perfectly in your hand. They were meticulously sanded, polished, and then sealed inside with a food-safe lacquer for a smooth and shiny finish.

Each tumbler is individually hand-crafted by an artisan in a fair trade environment and would make the perfect gift for those seeking the unusual and unique. Imperfections should be expected and simply add to the charm of your handmade good.
