1920s Norwegian Beer Kjenge | Hand Carved Wooden Loving Cup | Folk Art Horse Head Drinking Vessel
$573.75 $675.00
Traditional Norwegian kjenge from the 1920s, hand carved from a single block of wood and used as a communal beer vessel during celebrations. These cups often circulated around the table as “loving cups,” symbolizing unity as guests shared from the same container.
This example features the characteristic double horse head handles, a motif symbolizing strength and fertility in historic Norwegian rural culture. Kjenger are closely related to other ceremonial Scandinavian drinking vessels such as ølhøner and ølfugler, though this form is distinguished by its horse motifs.
A sculptural piece of Nordic folk heritage with visible age wear consistent with its history and use.
