I think its design suits its age, but I'd like to have same in modern vessel.

I tagged it as "Scandinavian" because of the reference to Scandinavian mythology in the buff you get from it i.e "The Mead of Poetry" it's a reference to a story first known to be written down by Snorri Sturluson in the Prose Edda. It's a long story so I won't try to summarise it but it's well worth a read.
While I understand that not everyone does this, me and my friends drink mead or maple wine in tankards like these because we're kinda weird metalheads so that's the design I wanted to go for, so I probably won't be changing it just because that would require making a second mesh and recipe that I would likely never use. I do plan to make a "mead machine" though (which would give a variety of options like "maple mead" etc), so I may try and give this a variety of choices of cups but we'll see,
