Description
This ceramic nutcracker head plate brings a cheerful gingerbread soldier to the Christmas season, shaped as his whole face from cap to shoulders. The plate is white, with a gold crown picked out in a raised zigzag band and little round studs. Above it sits a bright red bobble on a white cap scattered with tiny sprinkles, so the head looks like an iced gingerbread biscuit. Below, a rosy face with pink cheeks and a sweeping black moustache sits within swirls of white hair, and a deep brown rim edges the base. It measures 18.5cm one way and 15cm the other, and 3.5cm deep, so it fits a narrow shelf easily.
It is a natural fit for the festive season, wherever you gather your Christmas pieces: on a dresser shelf among baubles and greenery, on a hall table by the front door, or at the centre of a sideboard display. Its shallow, lipped shape makes a handy resting place for keys, rings or a few small decorations, and the sprinkle-topped crown adds a playful note to a mantelpiece arrangement. It also makes a cheerful Christmas gift, small enough to wrap easily and fun to unwrap.
The plate is made from ceramic, moulded so the crown, hair, eyebrows and moustache stand out in gentle relief, with a glossy finish that catches the glow of tree lights and candles. Care is simple: wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and handle it as you would any ceramic piece, since it can chip if knocked or dropped. When the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue and store it flat so it is ready for next December. For an easy seasonal touch, set it at the front of a shelf with a sprig of holly beside it, or tuck it into a Christmas hamper alongside a card.
