Details
After the Christmas Eve party Clara checks on her Nutcracker Toy Soldier and she falls asleep under the Christmas tree. At midnight, she awakes discovers that she has shrunk and her toy soldiers have come to life. Despite the bravery of her Nutcracker, the toy soldiers are losing their battle against the Rat King's army. Desperate to save her soldiers, Clara hits the Rat King in the head with her slipper enabling his defeat. With the battle over, the triumphant Nutcracker transforms into a prince.
Aitkens Pewter proudly presents the Toy Soldier, one of our series of finely crafted pewter ornaments celebrating the magic of Christmas, and the tradition of the Nutcracker Ballet, and the power of the imagination.
Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
