Christian Ulbricht Court Jester Nutcracker Signed

Updated August 6, 2026

A colorful, handmade nutcracker of a court jester by Christian Ulbricht that he has signed on the base. The jester carries a staff in the shape of a puppet with bells. The colors are bright and eye-catching. The nutcracker rests on a rectangular, undecorated hardwood. A burnt branded mark on the base reads Holzkunst Christian Ulbricht Handmade in Germany (therefore post unification). These words form a circle around a tree with a nutcracker. It is hand signed in black ink by Christian on the base. MEASUREMENTS 5 in (12.7 cm) wide x 6 in (12.4 cm) deep x 18 ½ in (47 cm) tall. Weighs 1 lb 15.4 oz. CONDITION There is one button missing from the front. One of the bell garters is missing and there's a bit of glue residue where it was attached. There are a few wear marks to the handle and two spots with residue on the lower portions of his coat. Otherwise, the nutcracker looks nearly new. A fun nutcracker to enjoy the holidays with or even all year in a collection. Measuring nearly 19 inches tall, this nutcracker is perfect for displaying on a tabletop or as a centerpiece. Period: 1990s Origin: Germany Materials: Felt/Wood Dimensions: 5"W × 6"D × 18.5"H
