Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed strictly for decorative purposes. While it features the traditional nutcracker aesthetic, it is not built to withstand the pressure required to crack nuts.
This piece is handcrafted in Germany by Christian Ulbricht, a brand renowned for its long-standing tradition of authentic Erzgebirge woodcraft.
The nutcracker stands 15 inches tall, with a width of 5.75 inches and a depth of 5 inches. Its size makes it a substantial centerpiece for a mantel or holiday display.
The tiny mouse companion is included as an accessory to complement the Puss 'n Boots character. It is designed to be displayed alongside the nutcracker to complete the scene.
To preserve the craftsmanship, simply dust the nutcracker gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the painted wood finish.
