Carved wooden nutcrackers date back to the 15th Century, and came into their own particularly in Central Europe. Many of these carved objects had whimsical forest themes and fantastical inspirations. This hand-painted nutcracker is based off a mushroom with a bright red cap that acts as a rotating screw to crack a nut placed in the opening. Even if you aren’t a fan of nuts, these fanciful little mushroom nutcrackers are great on their own, as decoration or good luck pieces.
