A drakkar-shaped decanter, dragon prow and billowing sail
Resting on a bar or a shelf, this decanter looks like no other: the belly forms the hull of a longship, the prow ends in an open-mouthed dragon head, the stern curls into a volute, and the deployed sail serves as the neck. The stopper takes the form of a golden crown. Violet and amber finish, with golden highlights on the shields molded along the hull.
A piece designed for whiskey and mead enthusiasts who want a characterful collection—to one day be found alongside our Viking Banquet Art collection.
What sets this piece apart
- Complete drakkar silhouette: dragon-head prow, volute stern, round shields molded onto the hull, sail forming the neck of the decanter.
- Crown stopper: diamond-point molded, gold finish.
- Two-tone finish: deep violet at the top, translucent amber on the belly—the color of the contents interacts with the tint.
- Capacity: 301 to 400 ml according to the technical specifications, the size of a half-bottle.
- A bar object as much as a display piece: decorative whether filled or empty.
To serve what the decanter holds, see our blown glass Viking horn glass.

Did you know?
The Vikings never drank whiskey: distillation would not reach Scandinavia until centuries after the Viking Age. Their strong drinks were mead, barley beer, and bjórr, a fermented fruit drink stronger than beer, mentioned in sources and confirmed by analysis of residues found in funerary vessels—notably in the drinking bucket from the Oseberg burial (834). Serving whiskey in a drakkar is therefore an intentional anachronism—but the idea of a ceremonial drink served in a formal container is perfectly Viking.
