Product Description
This George Washington Steinbach Nutcracker is designed and handcrafted in Marienberg, in the heart of Germany’s Ore Mountains, by the renowned Steinbach Folk Art company. Each figurine is made using centuries-old woodcarving techniques and the distinctive decorative style of Ore Mountain folk art, a tradition dating back to the 13th century. After World War II, American soldiers returning home from Germany brought nutcrackers as souvenirs, helping to spark a beloved holiday tradition in the United States. Made exclusively for Colonial Williamsburg retail stores, this Steinbach nutcracker is a memorable gift and a cherished keepsake for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
