This nutcracker is ready for the kitchen, outfitted with apron, wooden bread peel and a sack of flour (not to mention a basket of treats). This is a substantially larger version of our other nutcracker bakers with added special details like a cloth hat –– hence the premium moniker. Handmade by artisans of the Christian Ulbricht Company; they've been making nutcrackers by hand in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains, where wooden nutcrackers first originated, since 1928.

This is a working nutcracker (the lever in back operates his jaws), made by hand of solid natural finish woods. His beard and dark hair are lush faux fur. Just about 15 1/2" tall x 7 3/4" wide x 7" deep. Perfect not just for Christmas, our baker will gladly keep you company in your kitchen all the year long. Sorry, though: he does not do the dishes. Handmade in Germany.
