Teacup Hat Nutcracker Hanging Ornament Figurine - Blue & White

This hanging nutcracker figurine puts a cheerful, frosty twist on a festive classic. Our soldier wears a pale blue coat and trousers trimmed in silver, navy blue boots with silver laces, silver epaulettes and a curling white beard and moustache. In place of the usual tall hat he balances a stack of teacups: a navy cup, then a pale blue cup banded in silver, each rim topped with white like a drift of snow, and a little white cup with a smiling face at the very top. He holds a navy mug of his own and stands on a snowy white base edged in silver. He measures 20cm tall, 3cm wide and 2.5cm deep, a slim size that slips neatly between the branches.

He hangs from a fine silver string, ready to go straight onto the tree, and he is as happy on a garland, a wreath or a mantelpiece swag. The pale blue, navy, white and silver colours suit a frosted or icy scheme, and he sits well among silver baubles, white lights and pale blue ribbon. At 20cm tall he is easy to spot from across the room without crowding the decorations around him. He makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, especially for anyone who collects nutcrackers or never says no to a warm cup of something.

The figurine is made from polystone resin, which holds fine detail well: the curls of his hair, the crossed laces on his boots and the silver trim on his teacups come through crisply. To keep him looking his best, dust him with a soft dry cloth. When the decorations come down, wrap him in tissue and store him in a box so the teacups and base are protected. Hang him near the top of the tree, where the smiling cup on his hat catches the eye, or group him with other blue and white decorations for a frosty look.
