Til Valhalla Tankard (Small)

Til Valhalla Viking Tankard Small

A bearded Viking looks out from dark wood-effect panels on Til Valhalla, framed by rope-like borders and surrounded by shields and crossed axes. A sweeping ship-inspired handle carries the seafaring theme around the side, giving the compact tankard a distinctly Norse silhouette.

Standing approximately 11.7 cm tall, the tankard has a hand-painted polyresin exterior finished with raised grain-like texture and warmer metallic-effect accents around the weapons and borders. A removable stainless-steel insert forms the inner vessel, while sculpted portraits and decorative panels continue around the body rather than being confined to the front.

A Toast Towards Valhalla

In Norse mythology, Valhalla is the hall of Odin, where warriors chosen from those slain in battle are said to be taken after death. “Til Valhalla” translates naturally as “to Valhalla”, making the name especially fitting for a tankard surrounded by warriors, shields and axes.

The design also draws on the seafaring world of the Vikings. Ships were central to Scandinavian travel, trade, exploration and warfare during the Viking Age, and the sweeping handle gives that part of the story a visible role in the piece rather than leaving the Norse theme entirely to its warrior portraits.

Wood, Rope and Warrior Detail

The dark wood-effect finish gives Til Valhalla a warmer character than stone or metal-inspired tankards, while rope-like borders and the curved handle introduce contrasting sculpted textures. Shields and axes fill the spaces between the larger portraits, giving the design plenty of detail as the vessel turns.

The warrior portraits, axes and seafaring influence make Til Valhalla an especially strong fit within our Vikings collection, while its decorated drinking-vessel format places it naturally amongst our Goblets and Tankards. Its direct reference to Valhalla also gives it a genuine connection with the Norse legends gathered in History and Mythology. For a complementary display, pair it with the For The Gods Viking Tankard Small, which swaps the ship-inspired handle for a striking sword-hilt design.
