Ceramic Nutcracker with Drum - White

Description

DescriptionThis ceramic nutcracker is a hand-finished festive figure standing 26cm tall, complete with a small drum held at its base. Modelled in the traditional soldier form with a tall hat, moustache and upright posture, it is cast in ceramic and finished in a clean white glaze that catches the light softly. The drum detail adds a playful note to the piece, giving it a bit more character than a plain standing figure. At 7cm wide and 9cm deep, it has a slim footprint that fits neatly on a shelf or table edge.
We think this works well among other Christmas decorations, whether you keep your scheme pared back in whites and neutrals or mix it into a busier display of baubles and greenery. Line up a few nutcrackers of varying heights along a mantelpiece, set one either side of a wreath, or pop it on a hallway console as a welcome to guests. The white finish sits comfortably against warm metallics, natural pine and deep reds, so it slots into most festive styling without clashing.
Being ceramic, this piece is sturdy but does warrant a little care, as it can chip if knocked or dropped. Keep it on a stable surface away from busy edges and dust it gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners, which can dull the glaze over time. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box to keep it safe until next year.
