German Nutcracker: Irish Leprechaun

Here's a German nutcracker of Irish persuasion. Our Irish Leprechaun is holding a pot of gold and is made of beautifully hand painted and glazed woods. Handmade by artisans of the Christian Ulbricht Company; they've been making nutcrackers by hand in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains, where wooden nutcrackers first originated, since 1928. This is a working nutcracker (the lever in back operates his jaws), made by hand of solid natural finish and glazed woods. His red beard and red hair are lush faux fur. Just about 16 1/2" tall x 6" wide x 5" deep. Perfect not just for Christmas, but also for St. Patrick's Day of course, and for St. Brigid's Day at the start of February, or all year long if you happen to love the Emerald Isle. Handmade in Germany. 32-581
