Description from the seller

Alessi - Nutcracker 'Nutty the Cracker' (SG03 O) - Stefano Giovannoni

The 'Nutty the Cracker' nutcracker, designed in 1993 by the famous designer Stefano Giovannoni for the renowned brand Alessi.
This playful object was released as part of the legendary 'Family Follows Fiction' (FFF) series and has been out of production for a long time, making it a highly sought-after collector's item (collector's item).

The nutcracker combines functionality in a humorous way with high-quality design. Place a nut under the squirrel and turn the ears. The hidden metal screw thread slides down to crack the nut effortlessly, after which the shells are neatly caught in the aluminum shell.
