Welcome to Victor Churchill

Victor Churchill has announced the arrival of a limited edition decanter designed by Riedel.  “Victor” is a tribute to Victor Puharich, master butcher and the founder of Vic’s Premium Quality Meat. And in a witty twist, it is shaped like a pig’s tail, with a line of pink crystal defining its curly form.

The decanter has been designed by Georg Riedel, 10th generation Riedel, in collaboration with Anthony Puharich, the man behind Victor Churchill.

Victor is ‘free blown’, meaning the glass blower forms it by hand without the aid of a mould. A rod of pink crystal is introduced while the glass is molten creating the pink line that runs through the decanter. Only an extremely talented glassblower can successfully sculpt these creations, and each decanter is slightly different-one of a kind.It will be produced in limited quantities of only 50, each numbered and bearing the engraved signature of Anthony Puharich, making these true collector’s items. Customised packaging with the story of the Pig’s Tale will accompany the decanter.

PRICE $899 (inc GST)
A limited number of decanters are still available and are ready for collection on Monday 21st May.

Please contact one of our staff to place an order.

 

The Pig’s Tale by Anthony Puharich (with apologies to Lewis Caroll)

Anthony Puharich has written and designed a children’s book which tells the tale of how the decanter was born. The story is accompanied with original illustrations by Josie Stomann.

Victor is a fine young pig who lived on Churchill’s farm. He was the handsomest pig in the land, with glossy pink skin, shiny brown eyes and hair in all the right places. He just had one little problem. He had a straight tail. And everyone who is anyone knows, any pig worth his bacon has a curly tail. Victor goes on a journey through the world of Riedel glass and discovers that anything is possible when you drink very good wine from a very good decanter.

Each book is numbered and signed by Anthony Puharich and Josie Stomann. These limited edition books will accompany their corresponding numbered decanter. There will also be a small quantity of A Pig’s Tale available to purchase from Victor Churchill at $29.95.
