This Mediterranean Santa Claus nutcracker comes from Christian Ulbricht. Lovingly handcrafted with an eye for detail, true to the motto “Wood couldn’t be more beautiful!”
The Mediterranean Santa Claus nutcracker pictured here is an original, handcrafted figure from the Christian Ulbricht workshop, striking for its distinctive color scheme, loving details, and Mediterranean charm. It stands firmly on a light wooden base that is simple yet sturdy, ensuring the figure is presented safely and with dignity.
The nutcracker wears a long, soft green coat with a delicate pattern and cozy fabric trim. He also wears a matching green pointed cap with a white pompom that drapes diagonally over his head, giving him a cozy look. The colors are natural and calming, reminiscent of olive groves rather than snow and cold. The collar of the coat is made of soft, white faux fur, emphasizing its festive character.
His face is typical of Ulbricht nutcrackers: large, round eyes, a distinctive red nose, bushy white eyebrows, and a long, thick white beard. He wears fine, gold-framed glasses, giving him a wise and friendly expression. His open mouth reveals the classic nutcracker teeth, and on his back is the typical lever used to move the mouth.
In his left hand, he holds a round wooden bowl filled with black and green olives. It’s a tongue-in-cheek, Mediterranean detail that clearly distinguishes him from classic Santa Clauses. In his right hand, he carries a large, dark sack of gifts, brimming with small, intricately crafted gifts, twigs, plants, and a golden gift box. Everything is lovingly assembled, color-coordinated, and perfectly crafted.
The entire nutcracker appears calm, friendly, and at the same time festive, but different—not red and garish, but gentle and stylish. With its unusual color scheme of green, white, and gold, Mediterranean accents, and high-quality craftsmanship, this figure is a real eye-catcher, especially for lovers of unusual Christmas decorations.
It combines tradition, wit, quality, and Mediterranean joie de vivre in one figure – perfect for anyone seeking something special without sacrificing craftsmanship.
