TumblerThis horn tumbler is from Buchan in Aberdeenshire. Unlike silver, glass or porcelain, horn drinking tumblers were cheap and practical and remained unchanged for many years. The horn was heated up so that it became soft. It was then moulded to form different household utensils such as this tumbler. Material possessions of ordinary people tended to be things people could make themselves or buy locally. Horn was a readily available material.
