About the Item

In Italy, it’s traditional to end Christmas lunches with a table set with dried fruit and mandarins. While we continue chatting—often loudly debating events that happened centuries ago—we peel mandarins and crack open nuts. At large gatherings with more than 20 guests, it’s not unusual to argue over who gets to use the single nutcracker on the table, all while holding a grudge against some second cousin for an ancient slight. Receiving a nutcracker or a corkscrew for Christmas is always appreciated, and I’m offering for sale several nutcrackers that are not only functional but also highly decorative. This particular one is made of chrome-plated metal and features an unusual design: a silhouette shaped like a woman’s legs. Fully functional and sturdy, it makes a perfect gift. We have other unique nutcrackers available for purchase on our dedicated page here on this site. Feel free to contact us with any further questions.
