Tartan Butler with Wine Tray Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M14-20-N01850C

Pour the season a glass with the Tartan Butler, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a dapper butler in a green-and-navy tartan top hat with a sprig of holly, a matching tartan jacket with gold epaulettes, a burgundy bow tie and a fluffy white beard. He holds out a little serving tray with a red wine bottle and two glasses, and stands in tartan-trimmed trousers on a round navy-and-gold base.

A little collector's folklore: in old country houses, the butler was the keeper of the Christmas cellar, and nobody raised a toast until he said the wine was ready. Collectors say this one decides when the party starts — so keep him close to the drinks.

Why this nutcracker: if you want a nutcracker with a bit of personality for the home bar, dining room or a cosy plaid-themed Christmas, he is the one. The tartan pattern fits beautifully with plaid throws and ribbons, and at 15 inches tall he holds his own on a sideboard or bar cart.

In the box: one Tartan Butler nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and a fixed serving tray, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Stand him on the bar cart, sideboard or dining table with the other two wine nutcrackers in the series (F07M14-20-N01850A and B), or add him to a tartan and plaid Christmas mantel. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Christmas bar, dining room and mantel decor, and a fun gift for wine lovers, hosts and nutcracker collectors.
