The first artistically carved nutcracker figures were made as early as the 16th century during the time of Leonardo da Vinci. Their heyday, however, began in the 18th and 19th centuries when in South Tyrol and the Erzgebirge the turning and manufacture of decorative nutcrackers in the form of kings and gendarmes advanced to a fine craft. Today, the colourful wooden figurines mainly create a festive mood as part of the Christmas decorations and are often associated with tradition. The design of this beautiful New Bone China mug is a tribute to the nutcracker as a classic Christmas decor. Here, fine touches such as the matte surface finish and subtle Scandinavian-style graphic elements succeed in bridging the gap between tradition and modern, contemporary design language. In combination with the trendy item shape, which is reminding of an enamel cup, the harmonious product design is a joy to behold. Whether as an eye-catcher on the set Advent coffee table or for the cozy mulled wine with your best friend, this mug provides a Christmas mood in any situation.
The stainless steel strainer with the item number 41526 fits ideally for this item.
