Description
This nutcracker cake stand brings a traditional Christmas figure to the table in glossy white ceramic with fine gold trim. The stem is a nutcracker soldier standing to attention, his jacket picked out with gold braid across the chest and a small gold buckle at the belt, gold bands around his boots and a gold crest on his tall hat, which rises to hold a round, flat plate. A thin gold line runs around the edge of the plate and the rim of the round foot. The stand is 17.5cm high and 21cm across at its widest, a neat size for a smaller gathering rather than a tall tiered display.
It belongs on the Christmas table, where the soldier stem gives a plate of treats a little height and a lot of character. We like it on a sideboard or dresser through December, on a kitchen island when friends call round, or at the centre of a smaller dining table where a tiered stand would crowd the place settings. The white and gold colouring sits easily with silver, gold or natural greenery, and it suits a classic nutcracker theme as well as a quieter all-white scheme. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who likes to set a festive table.
It is glazed ceramic with a smooth, gently glossy finish, and the round foot sits flat on a table, sideboard or worktop. The broad plate holds a small cake or a handful of bakes, and the nutcracker lifts them clear of the dishes around it. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, taking a little extra care over the gold lines. Set it out on Christmas Eve with your favourite festive bakes, or wrap it up as a Christmas gift that will come back out every December.
