Ganador, made by Cristalerias Papini (Argentina), is known in several shape: a water pitcher and tumbler, decanter or carafe (which comes in two shapes) and tiny shot glass.

Ganador is 
sometimes confused with other, similar “berry band” designs made by another South American maker, Cristalerias Piccardo.

What distinguishes Ganador from the other patterns are the bunches of tiny cherries in the pattern band.
