Product code: Popular Vintage Christian Ulbricht Handcrafted Nutcracker C. 1981 West Germany
How sweet is this nutcracker by Christian Ulbricht? He looks very smart in his clean and crisp leather apron and colorful bow tie. With a meat cleaver in one hand, and a fistful of sausages in the other he's ready to start his workday. The attention to detail on this piece is incredible. The eyes are actually hand-carved buttons which have been applied and hand painted. His sausages swing individually on a rope and the cut surface of the largest sausage is painted to resemble a salami! His arms move from the shoulder so his positions can be changed. “The Butcher” was a limited production run and he has not been made since the mid 80s. His condition is simply extraordinary! He's a wonderful addition to any collection!! 5.5”W x 4”D x 14”H CONDITION Nutcracker is in “like new” condition. The only “flaw” I can find is a flaw in the wood on the brim of the hat from when popular the piece was first made.
