A pair of holiday-themed decorative objects consisting of a handcrafted metal angel figurine and an animated Nutcracker-themed clock. The angel figurine is constructed from silver-toned metal with a fluted, conical base featuring punched star motifs around the lower edge. The figure is designed with outspread wings and holds a long trumpet, surmounted by a small circular cup intended for use as a candle holder. The accompanying quartz clock is housed under a clear glass dome on a tiered circular base. The clock face features Roman numerals and a central illustration of a Nutcracker against a blue ground with gold stars. Positioned beneath the dial is an animated carousel with figures from the Nutcracker ballet. The blue base is decorated with relief-molded holiday motifs, including a teddy bear, a gift box, and a poinsettia. The underside of the base features a battery compartment and a sticker marked MADE IN CHINA. Dimensions (approx. measured against ruler, inches only shown): Angel: H 29.8 cm x Diameter 12.7 cm Clock: H 22.9 cm x Diameter 16.5 cm. Condition: Both items appear in good condition overall. The metal angel exhibits minor surface oxidation and light wear consistent with its handcrafted design and age. The clock and glass dome show minor surface marks and light dust accumulation consistent with display.
