Description
This ceramic gingerbread nutcracker plate brings a cheerful Christmas character to the table, shaped as a nutcracker figure from head to toe. His tall crown is trimmed in white icing, scattered with tiny coloured sprinkles and topped with a glossy red cherry, sitting above rosy cheeks, a sweeping black moustache and a white beard. His jacket is a warm gingerbread brown piped with white, cinched with a brown belt and a red buckle, with a row of iced swirls along the hem, and a deep brown base finishes him off. The plate is 23.5cm at its longest, 13.5cm the other way and 2.5cm deep, a handy size that sits on a table or shelf without crowding it.
We think he looks his best brought out each December and given pride of place on the dining table, the kitchen dresser or a sideboard, where his crown and iced jacket catch the eye. As a Christmas plate he suits the festive table, ready to hold a few biscuits or sweets when friends call round, and he is as happy left out on a shelf as a cheerful seasonal decoration between gatherings. The plate sits flat, so it needs no stand. It makes a fun Christmas gift with plenty of character, and a sweet piece to unpack with the decorations year after year.
He is made from ceramic with a glossy glaze, and the crown, beard, belt and swirls are raised from the surface, so the detail catches the light. Like any ceramic piece he can chip if knocked, so we would set him down gently. To care for him, wipe him over with a soft damp cloth, and store him wrapped in tissue once the season is over. Set him beside a bowl of clementines and pine cones for a festive corner, or wrap him with a ribbon for a Christmas present that brings a smile.
