First in the "Alice in Wonderland" series, created by Herr Christian Steinbach – the world’s premiere producer of German nutcrackers.

     The "MAD HATTER" stands a full 18" tall and is all spiffed up for the big tea party. He wears his fancy black velvet long coat with gold brocade lining. His gold sequined tie adds sparkle to his look. Grey & black striped pants and black & white buckle shoes are an elegant touch. His colorful top hat, however, still has it’s price tag. He holds the teapot and cup & saucer ready to serve his first guest.
     This piece is #2773 of a retired limited edition of 7500, and bears the stamp of authenticity on the bottom. It was also personally signed and annotated by Herr Steinbach himself in 1998 when he toured the United States.

This Steinbach nutcracker, " The Mad Hatter", is in mint condition with its original box, and comes from a smoke-free home - so ironic.
 

A sad note; Herr Steinbach passed away in 2007, well into his eighties,
after a long and illustrious career as the creator of the world’s finest nutcrackers.
