Nutcracker I Had as a Child
This ornament always reminds me of the wonderful ballet we enjoy with our children each year. There is a plate on the back to engrave. It reminds me of a nutcracker I had as a child and my children love the ornament too.
Danforth Pewter's 1997 Annual Ornament, the Nutcracker, is detailed on both sides and has a smooth space on the back for engraving. An homage to the classic Christmas tradition, both the ballet and the toy, we hope this ornament will bring you and your family a moment of delight each time you hang it on the tree.
Like all our ornaments, this one is handcrafted by our talented pewter artisans in our Middlebury, Vermont workshop.
