Carved and decorated by hand, the Bavarian nutcracker toasts the holiday season with a stein of froth-topped beer. The bearded gentleman is dressed for festivities in a flower-adorned hat and traditional lederhosen. This heirloom-quality—and functional—nutcracker is handcrafted by the exceptionally skilled artisans of the Christian Ulbricht toy factory in Seiffen, Germany, which was founded in 1928.
