Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is authentic Christian Ulbricht craftsmanship, handcrafted in Germany at their workshops in the Erzgebirge region.
While this nutcracker is designed primarily as a decorative collectible, it features a functional lever on the back that operates the jaw. However, it is not intended for cracking hard-shelled nuts.
The Sailor nutcracker stands 9.6 inches tall, with a width of 4.7 inches and a depth of 3.9 inches, making it a versatile size for mantels or bookshelves.
To preserve the finish, simply dust the nutcracker periodically with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water, chemical cleaners, or polishes, as these can damage the painted wood surface.
Yes, the seagull is a permanent part of the design and is securely attached to the sailor figure as part of the handcrafted assembly.
