Nutcrackers have been a beloved symbol of the holidays since the famous ballet brought them into the popular imagination, and this old-world style glass ornament captures that same whimsical character in miniature.
A charming addition to a nutcracker or soldier-themed collection, and a fun gift for the ballet lover on your list.
The nutcracker figure's popularity in Western holiday tradition owes much to Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet, which turned a functional German toy into an enduring Christmas icon. Glass ornament makers began producing miniature nutcracker figures like this one throughout the 20th century to meet growing demand from collectors captivated by the story.
