Description
This nutcracker figurine stands to attention in a pale pink jacket, holding a little gingerbread man against his chest. He is modelled in resin, sometimes called polystone, and stands 23cm tall, 5.5cm wide and 5cm deep, a slim size that fits easily among other festive pieces. His tall gold hat is topped with a white drip like icing and a small white bobble, while gold epaulettes, cuffs, belt and trim pick out the pink coat. White curls, a twirled white moustache and a long white beard frame bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks, and he wears white trousers with tall gold boots on a white square base.
Pink is the main colour, softened with gold and white, so he suits a pastel Christmas scheme as happily as a traditional one. Stand him on a mantelpiece, a hall table, a windowsill or a bookshelf, or set him among greenery on a sideboard for the season. At 23cm tall he holds his own on a shelf yet stays small enough for a bedside table or a desk. We think he makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, easy to wrap and simple to set out, and he stores away neatly to come out again next year.
The figure is resin with a glazed finish, and the gold on his hat and boots has a fine glittered sparkle that catches the light. His square base gives him a steady footing on a flat surface, so he needs no stand of his own. He is a figurine for display rather than a working nutcracker. To care for him, dust gently with a soft dry cloth and keep him away from damp, then wrap him in tissue when the decorations come down. Set him beside fairy lights and pale baubles for a soft, pretty corner that feels festive all through December.
