Christian Ulbricht Nutcracker - Puss In Boots - Glazed

Christian Ulbricht Puss in Boots Glazed Nutcracker

Straight from the pages of the classic European fairy tale Puss in Boots comes the famously sly feline trickster, brought to life as this stunning hand carved nutcracker. Puss, represented as an orange, green-eyed cat, is dressed in musketeer-style attire. His outfit features a cavalier-style hat topped with a white feather, a bright red coat with gold and white lace accents, yellow pants, and of course, his famous tall brown boots.

This crafty feline has his trusty rapier at his side hanging from a gold chain, and at his feet sits a grey mouse… at least for the time being! The glaze brushed over this nutcracker brings out the beautiful details in the wood grain. Handmade in the Erzgebirge region of Germany, this 14.6-inch nutcracker is a perfect blend of storybook charm and German craftsmanship.

Q: Is this nutcracker based on the original Puss in Boots story?
A: Yes, it’s inspired by the famous fairy tale written by Charles Perrault and popularized by the Brothers Grimm.

Q: Can the nutcracker actually crack nuts?
A: Its mouth is movable but designed for decoration only.

Q: What makes the glazed finish special?
A: The glaze enhances the color and detail of the wood grain, giving the figure a soft sheen and refined look.
