As these are vintage wooden pieces that were once-functional items, some items may show varying degrees of use and natural deterioration. While we believe the wear contributes to the uniqueness and character of each piece, the Nomadic Trading team will work to provide the best options available.

Please note that the hornbeams shown in this listing are intended as a display of selection. Because they are one-of-a-kind pieces, the vessels we have in store come in a range of styles and sizes. Extra large hornbeams can range from 5.5-10” in mouth width, 9.5-20" in height, ¼ - 2” in wood thickness, and around 16 pounds in weight. These sizing guidelines are loose, as each is priced by a combination of these factors, or by their overall condition, intricacy and age.
