Midcentury Modern Brass Nutcracker in Walnut Shape, 70s

About the Item

In Italy there is a custom of ending Christmas meals by setting the table with dried fruit and mandarins, while we continue to chat and discuss out loud about events that happened centuries ago we peel the mandarins and break the shell of the dried fruit. Very often at tables set with more than 20 guests, we end up arguing about who should have possession of the only nutcracker on the table as well as for that slight suffered by a second cousin. Receiving a nutcracker or a wine cork for Christmas is always welcome and I offer you for sale some nutcrackers that are not only functional but highly decorative. The one in question is made of solid brass and has a fun shape that reproduces a walnut made in a very realistic way on the upper part. Workable and solid it is a perfect gift idea. We have other particular nutcrackers that you can find for sale on our dedicated page always on this website
