Colours, Specifications & Dimensions

All our products are handmade from natural materials, as with all natural materials colours vary greatly. The items you receive will differ in colour from the product photographed (except bone products). Some products do provide a colour choice option, in this case we will aim to provide a match as close as possible to your choice but reserve the right to substitute the nearest match. Should you have a specific colour requirement and the colour choice option is not available please contact us when placing your order. Sizes given are for reference only, as each piece is hand made, dimensions will vary slightly.

Drinking Vessel Disclaimer

Although all our drinking vessels are water tested before despatch we recommend that you also test them upon receipt. As horn is a natural material, like wood, it does have a tendency to ‘move’ and depending upon ambient temperatures and humidity you may find they do ‘spring a leak’.

Should this happen please return it to us and we will be happy to re-seal it for you free of charge, if we can.

Whilst these vessels are designed as drinking vessels we DO NOT recommend the long-term storage of liquids in them and would advise that you do not leave them unattended on or near valuable items. Abbeyhorn will not accept any liability for any damage caused by a leaking vessel.
