From the Christian Ulbricht Company (they've been making nutcrackers by hand in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains, where wooden nutcrackers first originated, since 1928) comes a new collection of nutcrackers, incense smokers, and pyramids for autumn, and here is the king of them: It's the Autumn King, adorned in the rich colors of the season and festooned in autumn leaves.

This is a working nutcracker (the lever in back operates his jaws), made by hand of solid natural finish and hand glazed woods. The king's beard and dark hair are lush faux fur. Nearly 15" tall x 4 1/2" wide x 6" deep. Handmade in Germany.
