Description
Our ceramic nutcracker is a hand-finished figure that brings a traditional festive character to your seasonal display. Standing 42cm tall, it has the upright, soldier-like form you would expect of a classic nutcracker, complete with a moulded stocking detail that adds a playful touch to the design. The white ceramic body carries a smooth glaze that catches the light softly, giving the piece a clean, sculptural look that sits well among other Christmas decorations.
This is a versatile piece for the festive season. Place it on a mantelpiece, console table or windowsill where its height can stand out, or pair two together to flank a doorway or hearth. The pale white finish works with almost any scheme, whether you lean towards warm reds and golds or a cooler palette of silver and frosted greens. Group it with candles, foliage and smaller ornaments to build a layered arrangement, or let it stand alone as a single focal point. At 10cm wide and 13cm deep, it holds its ground without crowding a surface.
Being ceramic, it is sturdy and easy to look after across many seasons. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to lift dust, and use a slightly damp cloth for any marks before drying it fully. Avoid harsh cleaners and knocks against hard edges, as glazed ceramic can chip. When the season ends, wrap it in tissue and store it in a padded box so it stays in good condition for years to come.

Frequently Asked
What is it made from?
It is made from ceramic with a smooth white glaze. The material feels solid in the hand and holds its shape and finish well through repeated festive seasons.
How should I style it?
Set it on a mantelpiece, console or windowsill, either on its own or paired with a second nutcracker. It works alongside candles, foliage and other Christmas decorations in both warm and cool colour schemes.
How tall is it?
It stands 42cm tall, with a width of 10cm and a depth of 13cm, so it makes a good upright feature without taking up much surface space.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, and use a lightly damp cloth for marks before drying fully. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the glaze.
Is it fragile?
As with all glazed ceramic, it can chip if knocked against hard edges, so handle it with care and wrap it in tissue for storage between seasons.
