Bowl Licker - Yule Lad Ornament

Sale price$15.99

Askasleikir or Bowl Licker (17th Dec.) is the sixth Yule Lad to make his way down from the mountains.

In the old Icelandic turf farmhouses the family sat on the edge of their beds to eat. Each family member had their own bowl which had a lid to keep the food warm. Askasleikir sneaks into a farmhouse and lies in wait under the bed of the unsuspecting person who innocently puts his or her "askur" down on the floor between bites - whereupon the lad swipes it away to lick it spotlessly clean.

Size: in cm: 7,5 /in.: 3,2

Bowl Licker, the sixth one,
was shockingly ill bred.
From underneath the bedsteads
he stuck his ugly head.

And when the bowls were left
to be licked by dog or cat,
he snatched them for himself
- he was sure good at that!

After my visit to Iceland, I found this online store and saw the Yule Lad ornaments. I was glad to find them since I didn't buy an ornament as a souvenir on the trip! The ornament itself is great, shipping was sort of expensive, but not unexpected going from Iceland to the US. Overall really happy to have an ornament souvenir!

My friend and I visited Iceland in March 2017. My friend collects ornaments from all the places she visits and she had forgotten to her one from Iceland. I took to the internet and found this website and immediately ordered her one. While in Iceland, we were both really fond of the Yule Lads, so this was a perfect gift! The ornament got to her safety (all the way to Connecticut in the US) in a timely manner! The only thing I would suggest is maybe allowing there to be a gift option or an option to send a gift message along with the package.

Absolutely no problem ordering from the Icelandic store. Delivery was swift and when the item arrived it was fantastic quality. I'll definitely be buying from them again. ( I 'll be getting a Yule Cat next )

6 Yule Lads arrived very quickly and in well protected packaging. These are ornaments purchased as gifts which I'm sure will be well received.
