Drinking vessels in the shape of human and animal heads have been around for thousands of years. Greeks, Romans, Incans, Persians, etc all did it. Some cultures even drank out of real human skulls.
Lord Byron drank out of human skull goblet inscribed with his poem "Lines Inscribed Upon A Cup Formed From A Skull". You can buy a replica online.
People wanting to drink out of freaky things has been going on for a long time.

Tibetan carved skull.

Mister bigshot with his fancy schmancy art degree, and his shoes with laces. Pffbt. :D

Mister bigshot? My name is Lori and I do not have an art school degree. :) I have always liked the macabre so carved skulls falls under weird crap I like.
