Fireworks Fly Celebratory Medieval Drinking Horn

In medieval England, fireworks experts were known as firemasters.  Take a moment to appreciate them with the Fireworks Fly Celebratory Medieval Horn; its perfect for celebrating at your next New Years Party!  The assistants of those firemasters, called green men because they wore caps of leaves to protect their heads from sparks, doubled as jesters, entertaining the crowd with jokes as they prepared the displays. It was a dangerous profession at the time, with many green men dying or suffering injuries when detonations went awry.  By the time of the Renaissance, pyrotechnic schools were training fireworks artists across Europe, particularly in Italy, which became famous for its elaborate and colorful displays. It was the Italians who in the 1830s became the first to incorporate trace amounts of metals and other additives, creating the bright, multihued sparks and sunbursts seen in contemporary fireworks shows.
