The woods of this majestic red king nutcracker are glazed in red and green, enabling the beauty of the wood grain to subtly show through the color. The royal king, one of the most traditional and iconic nutcrackers, stands with his scepter at his side.

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 glazed and painted woods with a bit of painted blush on his cheeks and faux fur hair and beard. Golden fabric belt, plus a golden scepter, and deep blue eyes. This handsome fellow stands about 15" tall x 5" wide x 5" deep. Handmade in Germany.
