Tankards/Goblets?

[Branwen]

So I'm on the hunt for a new Tankard and or Goblet, and I'm having a bit of trouble. See I would like one that holds at least 20 oz of liquid. I'm not partial to any particular materials, could be pewter, could be wood, could be ceramic. The main thing is that it holds enough liquid and doesn't look too...noble? Something more warrior class/barbarian than Elizabethan.

Any links in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

For a barbarian you might want to think about a drinking horn. A little pricey but they last and come in various sizes from med to xxxl
Wood tankards also come in various sizes from goblets to 48oz+. Just depends on what you need and want to pay for

Horns can be purchased raw at places like Tandy, then cleaned (even in the dishwasher) and simply sealed with wax if you don't ming the 'authentic' taste, then wrap it in leather or leather cord, and call it good. I've seen them run anywhere from $15 to $25. There are other ways to home seal them if you want something a little more durabel, that won't leave a taste in your drink, including food safe polyutherane

I bought a tankard from http://macgowans.com/

The guy there is really  nice and he does do some special requests.

Leather mugs, he does custom work as well, I have many and they're great, but don't put them in the dishwasher

I've seen McGowan's work also, and it's absolutely amazing!  And Lady S is right, he's an awesome guy, with incredible woodworking talent!

I asgree with the drinking horn idea for the warrior/barbarian.  Most faires have a booth that sells them.  I bought three on different occasions (Oops, I forgot to bring a drinking vessel, I guess I'll have to buy another) from the booth at Sterling.  They went for about $30-45.

I'll suggest Wonderous Works in Wood (where I got my tankard).  They have ones that will easily hold 20+ ounces and they hold up well.  If they do break, they will fix them for you.  These wood mugs can also handle cold or hot liquids.

Knarly Knot also does wonderful woodwork - I just don't recall how big thiers are.

might I suggest this site for horns. They seem to have a full scale of them. I have never ordered from them but the website is nice.

I am the recent recipient of an Ulfric Leather mug. He's a member of the forums here, and is based in Maryland. His work is second to none....

Thank you everyone!

All these are wonderful and I will have to make some very serious decision making lol.

I am partial to Mug O'the Woods.  They are made from logs and most still have their bark, many also have moss on them.  Very rugged looking mugs that come in all different sizes.

Here is my warrior with his, which is about 32 ounces.

I feel the need to put in a plug for the shop I hawk for.  Actually I felt these were the best I have seen at festival and have felt so long before I started hawking for them. Each is unique, therefore you will never see another just like yours.  Here are a couple of mine.  Cherry Burl and Spalted Maple.

I'll toss in another for Ulfric Leather, http://www.ulfricleather.com/. He was very patient in working with me on what I wanted, and the result was awesome. Highly recommended, and well priced.
