Silver Ice King with Sword Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 9 in by Wizardi F07M14-35-N01364A

Bring a touch of frost to the holidays with the Silver Ice King, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a king in a tall white hat set with a diamond crystal, a white beard, and a white jacket with an ornate silver chest design and a silver belt. He holds a gleaming silver sword, with white and silver trousers and silver boots on a silver-painted square base.

A little collector's folklore: the Ice King is said to paint frost patterns on the windows on Christmas Eve, and collectors say a silver nutcracker by the window keeps the frost sparkling till morning.

Why this nutcracker: if you decorate in white and silver, he is a cool, elegant alternative to the classic red soldier. He looks beautiful with flocked trees and silver baubles, and at about 9 inches he fits a shelf, windowsill or tablescape.

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

Complete the ice guard with the axeman and the staffbearer (F07M14-35-N01364B and C). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 24 cm tall (9.4 in). White and silver Christmas decor, and an elegant gift for anyone who loves a frosty holiday.
